Impact With Illinois' running back room dinged up with numerous injuries, Altmyer showcased his abilities as a rusher against Wisconsin's defense. The sophomore reached 100 yards on the ground for the first time in his career as he repeatedly dodged pressure and scrambled out of the pocket. Altmyer ultimately logged season lows as a passer, though he still capped the Fighting Illini's first two scoring drives with touchdown passes of one and three yards to tight ends Tanner Arkin and Tip Reiman, respectively. The Ole Miss transfer also avoided turning the ball over for the first time this season, though this effort was ultimately spoiled by the Badgers' 14-point comeback in the second half. He and the Fighting Illini will look to bounce back against Minnesota in Week 9.
