Welcome to this year’s edition of Creepin’ on the B1G.

Lovie Smith began his third season at the helm of the Illini in unnerving fashion. Illinois welcomed regular Penn State foe Kent State to Champaign-Urbana and very narrowly escape with a victory. The Illini used a fourth-quarter touchdown to pull ahead and grab a 31-24 victory over the Golden Flashes.
