Behind Enemy Lines: The Champaign Room Discusses Iowa Hawkeyes-Illinois Fighting Illini Football

Alright. I know it’s been fun to bask in the greatness that was Iowa’s thrilling victory over Meechigan this past weekend, but it’s unfortunately time to move on. There’s another football game comin’ up this weekend, and it’s against the Fighting Illini in Champaign, IL (which, in my humble Illinoisan opinion, is the worst Big Ten city of them all). The Fighting Illini haven’t been great this season, as they’re 3-7 and have beaten football powerhouses Murray State, Buttger, and Michigan State.

But I’m sure there’s still something to know about Illinois, right? We talked to Trevor Vallese, a staff writer over at SB Nation’s Illinois blog, The Champaign Room.
