After suffering a week one loss to UTSA, the Illinois football team will look to bounce back with a win at Virginia on Saturday.

The Illini stumbled last week after starting the year off with a solid win over Nebraska. Despite having some momentum, the Fighting Illini fell to UTSA 37-30 during their week one matchup.
