It looks like the Illinois football backup quarterback situation is all sorted out.
During the 2019 campaign run to the Redbox Bowl, Illinois dealt with some injuries at the quarterback position. Starter Brandon Peters missed some time throughout the year. Who was the backup last season to Peters?
Matt Robinson
Robinson threw for 475 yards, 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions for the Illini as a freshman in 2019.
