LIVE! Kent State

It's that time of year again. Sure, the college football season technically started a week ago and there were games Thursday and Friday nights, but this is the real deal. The first true Saturday of the college football season is a little more special than the handful or so of games already in the books. (Can you believe New Mexico State has already played twice?!).

Illinois will play its first game of the season in about 90 minutes against Kent State, and the LIVE! Report will be running to capture every moment. Beat writer Scott Richey (that's me) will be at the helm until late in the fourth quarter.
