CHAMPAIGN - Illinois' pass defense will be put to the test Saturday night, and with all the injuries right now in the secondary it could be a big challenge to slow down Louisiana Tech's high-octane offense.
Right now, the Illini are in the bottom half of the Big Ten when it comes to pass defense. Tim Beckman says you can't completely shut down an offense like Louisiana Tech's, but slowing them down requires one big key.
