TEMPE, AZ - The Arizona State Sun Devils are looking for revenge against the Illinois Fighting Illini after a shocking loss to Sun Devil Nation last season.

The Devils have practiced all week in preparation for Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who may not even play on Saturday night. He has been listed as "questionable" and considered a "game-time decision."

Scheelhaase injured his ankle last weekend in the third quarter and was unable to return to the game. If he doesn't play on Saturday, either sophomore Reilly O'Toole or junior Miles Osei will get the start.

The Sun Devils are a two and a half point favorite after crushing Northern Arizona University in their first game of the season, 63-6.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Sun Devil Stadium.
