Michigan football meets Illinois in Champaign in the first ranked-versus-ranked matchup at Memorial Stadium since 2000. The Wolverines face a 5-1 Fighting Illini side in an important day for that program ... and a pivotal game for U-M coming off its bye week. Behind Enemy Lines explores why Saturday is so important to Illinois, why the Illini aren't your typical Bret Bielema team, and where the Wolverines can find success.

The episode then looks ahead to Michigan State with the in-state rivalry set for a nighttime kickoff next weekend.
