The Illinois football team didn’t have a great record last season. They struggled at times, but Lovie Smith was just looking for the right players for the future.
This upcoming season should be different. They have a more experienced roster and hopefully, they can push through the schedule with at least six wins.
Tom Dienhart has more on the Illini schedule.
Illinois introduced the athletics Hall of Fame this past year and they announced who was going to be in the first class. This is a big deal because it honors past great Illini athletes.
The host of the Hall of Fame festivities is going to be none other than Mike Tirico.
