Illinois will get its first true test of the season this Saturday when it travels to Chapel Hill to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in what should be a great game. Illinois has outscored its first two opponents 96-3, and the stingy Illini defense has yet to allow a touchdown; it also has five interceptions on the young season.
Now is the chance to see Illinois Football for what it really is. Will the offense stay hot and the defense stay solid in a hostile environment against tougher competition, or will the Illini fail to put up a good fight down south?
