Luke Altmyer - Multiple scores in victory Altmyer completed 9 of 18 passes for 80 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-7 win versus Michigan. He also had 10 rushes for 48 yards with one touchdown. Impact Altmyer had a quiet day through the air against a tough Michigan defense, throwing for a season-low 80 yards while completing just 50 percent of his passes on the day. Despite the sub-par passing numbers, he once again contributed on the ground, running for 48 yards and a third quarter touchdown plunge from the one yard-line to give the Fighting Illini a two-touchdown lead in what would be the final score of the game. Altmyer has been one of the better quarterbacks in the Big Ten this season, throwing for 1,506 yards and 15 touchdowns to just a single interception while adding 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground and leading the Fighting Illini to a 6-1 start to the season. The top-ranked Oregon Ducks await Altmyer and the Illinois offense this coming Saturday.
