‘It’s about executing’: Peters, Illini ready to face Badgers
Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports It’s almost time for Illinois football to get back on the field again in this Friday’s season opener.
After last year’s upset against Wisconsin, quarterback Brandon Peters has been waiting for this time to try and prove everyone wrong once again.
The Illini know that the game will be a challenge, but it’s one they’re eager to face.
“I’m excited for this game,” Peters said. “It’s been a long time since we put on the pads and had an opportunity to compete like this.”
With the late start to the season, the team has had a few extra months to prepare. As the long-awaited first game approaches, there are nerves, but Peters knows he has to control them on the field.
