The Illinois football team will take on one of the more underrated teams in the country on Saturday.

I have been impressed with the Washington Huskies this season. Their offense has been solid, led by returning quarterback Demond Williams Jr. He has a good arm and even better legs. The Illini defense will have its hands full on Saturday.
