Football starts on Friday night, and Illinois' offense will take on a Western Illinois defense looking to cause chaos.
We are now one sleep away from the Illinois football team starting the 2025 season.
The Illini enter the 2025 campaign with high hopes, but faltering or even looking average against a bad Western Illinois program would be worrisome.
Illinois’ offense should be clicking, though. They return a ton of talent, led by starting quarterback Luke Altmyer.
