Lovie Smith and the Illinois Fighting Illini take the field on Saturday against a dangerous Broncos
team.
In addition to contending with the Broncos, the Illini might face some weather-based adversity too.
The current forecast is for scattered thunderstorms and a cloudy high of 82 degrees. Adding to the discomfort will be humidity levels around 80%, according to most weather outlets. Late summer in central Illinois is no picnic.
The Broncos won’t be a picnic either. Coming off two big wins, Western Michigan is riding a wave that they expect will not crash in Champaign.
