The Illini (and their fans) are surely down after a hard-to-believe 53-point loss to Indiana. But Illinois can still get into the CFP.

An early showdown unfolds from aspiring Big Ten contenders and top-20 teams, as the 19th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers visit No. 9 Illinois for a night kick in Champaign.

Because of a delay to Notre Dame vs. Purdue, the game between No. 8 Illinois and No. 17 Indiana delayed and will begin on Peacock.

A Top 25 showdown helps wrap up Week 4 when the No. 9 ranked Illinois Fighting Illini visit the No. 19 Indiana Hoosiers as road underdogs tonight in Bloomington.

Scott’s injury complicates Illinois’ hopes of bouncing back from its blowout loss to Indiana as the Ilini (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) prepare to host No. 21 Southern California (4-0, 2-0) on Saturday. USC quarterback Jayden Maiava leads all Bowl Subdivision players in passer rating and has thrown nine touchdown passes without an interception.

The Illini will be without their top defensive back for the majority (if not the entirety) of the season. What's next for Illinois' defense?
