Bye Week and Volleyball Gamethread

I don't know about you, but last year the bye weeks felt like a blessing. This year, despite only having 3 wins, I'm itching for some football given the way Purdue has played in its last 3 games. With football taking a well deserved break, basketball not having its first exhibition until next Sunday (there is a scrimmage today), and volleyball playing a televised game on the road at #10 Illinois, we're making a bye week and volleyball gamethread.

Below are the Top 25 and Big Ten games throughout the day. Volleyball plays at #10 Illinois at 6pm on BTN.
