Illinois’ best (and worst) case scenario for 2023

Last year was a major success in the football department compared to seasons in recent memory, and this next season has the potential to capitalize on this success and build a reputation, as well as consistent success.

The sky is the limit for Illini football this year... well, not really.

Let’s focus in week by week on what these limits really are.

Week 1 - Toledo

Win 21-20 (1-0)

I don't see this being a loss, and I think worst case scenario is a nail-biting win.
