Nebraska will be in an alternate uniform, too, which the school announced in July.
The Illini, for the second consecutive homecoming, will turn to their monochromatic "Galloping Ghost" alternate vs. Wisconsin. A season ago, Illinois took down Minnesota in the uniform that honors Illini icon Red Grange.
The Terrapins, as first reported late last week, will don a 1961 throwback vs. Penn State. The design honors the 1961 Maryland team that went 7-3 and became the first in the nation's to put player names on the back of jerseys.
