We are into the month of August, and that means Illinois football kicks off within weeks.
It is finally almost here. The Illini haven’t played a game since beating South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl months ago. Now, Illinois is poised to make another run at the College Football Playoff.
To get to the coveted bracket, the Illini are going to need to be on point this season. We can’t falter or the selection committee will pounce. Each player is going to have to play their role perfectly, and Illinois will rely on players like Hank Beatty to be big-time contributors to this program.
