The Fighting Illini comes into Keenan Stadium at noon on Saturday for Carolina's third game of the season. This is weirdly a must win game for the Heels since a loss probably means that the Heels will finish the year with six or fewer wins. If the Heels only win six games then they are not initially bowl eligible since you can only count one win against an FCS team for your bowl eligibility. Additionally, if Carolina can't beat the Illini at home, then this team is bad and probably doesn't deserve a bowl in the first place (sorry everyone).
