The 6-foot-2 quarterback finished the regular season with 2,811 yards and 21 touchdowns to five interceptions across 12 games for the Fighting Illini, adding 188 yards and four touchdowns on the ground as well.

Rushing score in loss Altmyer completed 21 of 35 passes for 248 yards during Saturday's 27-10 loss against Wisconsin. He also had 13 rushes for 20 yards with one touchdown.

Impact While he managed to record his fourth rushing score of the season, Altmyer was largely held ineffective through the air on the day, finishing without a passing score for the first time this season. The 6-foot-2 quarterback found the end zone on a 12-yard scamper in the second quarter, tying the game at seven at the time. Altmyer will hope for one final productive performance when the Fighting Illini host Northwestern in the team's regular season finale on Saturday.
