Illini football a two-score underdog at Wisconsin
Illinois football is a two-score underdog at Wisconsin. Illinois has lost eight straight games at Camp Randall Stadium. Bret Bielema spent nine years with Wisconsin, including seven as head coach. He led Wisconsin to three straight Big Ten titles (2010-12) before leaving for Arkansas. Bielma is preaching that the game means a lot more to his players than to him personally. He is from Illinois, played and coached at Iowa and Kansas State. His players are proud of their accomplishments. They are also proud that he is close with Paul Chryst and Jimmy Leonhard.
