Big Ten football is back when Illinois travels to Bloomington, Indiana for some Friday Night Lights Action! Will Illinois win this game? Our staff made some predictions down below:
Matt Rejc: Illinois 31 - Indiana 24
There’s a few things going for and against the Illini in this matchup, but I expect them to more or less even out. Illinois has the advantage of getting the first game jitters out against Wyoming, and also have some confidence rolling into their Friday night matchup in Bloomington. On the other hand, Illinois historically never plays well in the first road game of the year (think about Virginia last season or the nailbiter against UConn in 2019).
