Luke Altmyer - Two interceptions in loss Altmyer was 17-for-35 passing for 161 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-9 loss to Oregon. He also had eight rushes for negative two yards. Impact It was a tough day for Altmyer and the Illinois offense, as the junior quarterback threw his second and third interceptions of the season and completed a season-low 49 percent of his passes against the Ducks. Altmyer also failed to find the end zone for just the second time this season as the Fighting Illini were held to just nine points on the day. Even including Saturday's beatdown, Altmyer has had a solid season thus far, throwing for 1,667 yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes through eight games. Better days lie ahead for Altmyer and the Illinois offense, starting next week in a home battle against Minnesota.
