Star wide receiver Pat Bryant and the Illinois Fighting Illini (8-3) meet the Northwestern Wildcats (4-7) on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET, at Wrigley Field.The Fighting Illini head into this matchup

On Saturday, the Illini make the short trek to Chicago’s Wrigley Field, where they’re set to take on in-state rival Northwestern (11 a.m. CT, on Big Ten Network) in a battle for the Land of Lincoln Trophy. The Wildcats (4-7, 2-6 Big Ten) have dropped four of their last five, including last week’s 50-6 thrashing by Michigan.

The Illini await their bowl assignment — almost certainly will the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on New Year's Eve.
