The halfway mark of the 16-week college football season will feature a collection of clean uniforms.
In Week 8, No. 22 Illinois will compete in its fourth ranked matchup of the season Saturday against No. 24 Michigan.
On Oct. 18, 1924, Hall of Fame running back Red Grange helped lead the Fighting Illini to a 39-14 win over Michigan with an iconic six-touchdown game. One hundred years later, in the Memorial Stadium rededication game, Illinois will honor the historic performance in Saturday's Memorial Stadium rededication game by sporting a throwback uniform that imitates the classic look worn by Grange and his teammates.
