Michigan is back on the road for the second straight game with a 27-17 loss in Seattle to Washington, giving it an extra week behind after a bye in Week 6. Coach Sherrone Moore is aiming for improved play at his quarterback position, coupled with a solid running game and a defense built around making opponents one-dimensional and limiting opponents to 76.3 rushing yards per game.

The Illini will want to establish the run on their home field to support quarterback Luke Altmyer’s ability to exploit a leaky Wolverines secondary. Altmyer threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns and added 60 rushing yards and another score in a 50-49 overtime win over Purdue last week.
