The Illinois Fighting Illini lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in a Week 7 college football game. Here is a recap and highlights.

Isaiah West carried the ball three times for Ohio State football in last week’s win at Illinois, and it seemed, as was the case in his previous three appearances, his rushes were simply the result of garbage time snaps.

Ohio State has faced Illinois (in 103 games) more than any other team outside of Michigan (119), but this will be the first time Ryan Day has faced the Fighting Illini as the Buckeyes head coach. The teams last met in 2017, when Ohio State won at home 52-14.
