The Illinois offense will get a boost this week with the return of starting quarterback Wes Lunt, who missed the last three games with a broken fibula. At the time of his injury, Lunt ranked in the top-20 in the nation in completions per game (25.4, 10th), passing yards per game (313.8, 14th), passing touchdowns (13, 17th), passing yards (1,569, 18th), completion percentage (.665, 20th) and passing efficiency (154.8, 20th), and he was tied for fourth in the FBS with 14 passing plays of 30 yards or more.

Against Ohio State, Aaron Bailey and Reilly O'Toole combined to complete just 13-of-27 passes for 137 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and three sacks taken. However, Mike Dudek managed to break Arrelious Benn's school record for receiving yards by a freshman with his 56-yard catch in the first quarter. Dudek has 707 receiving yards on 45 catches this season.

On the other side of the ball, the Fighting Illini continue to struggle as they enter this week ranked 109th nationally in scoring defense (36.7 ppg), 112th in total defense (483.1 ypg) and 121st in rushing defense (262.8 ypg). OSU scored almost at will two weeks ago, racking up 28 first downs and 545 yards of total offense in the process. Linebacker Mason Monheim had a game- high 11 tackles (1.0 TFL) to go along with a forced fumble in the loss. He is fourth in the Big Ten with a team-best 9.2 tackles per game.

The Fighting Illini have been a much different team on the road than at home this season, and they will have had two weeks to prepare for this one. Look for Iowa to come out hungry after that letdown against Minnesota, but the return of Lunt should be enough to get Illinois back into the win column.
