CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Illini want to build on the success of their opening week, proving that it was much more than their usual first game of the season win.
As a program, Illinois football is moving on from the past, and is over all of the naysayers that doubt their success for this season.
When asked how they don’t let the past effect them, linebacker Jake Hansen said, “During the offseason I think we did look at last year, we looked at it as, that can never happen again. Moving forward we try to focus on what we can do and the potential we have for this year.
