It’s the final non-conference matchup for both Florida Atlantic (1-2, 0-0 AAC) and Illinois (1-2, 0-1 Big Ten). It’s been a less-than-ideal start for both programs alike, dropping Week 3 contests in lopsided fashion to the likes of Clemson and Penn State.
These programs have never squared off before, so Saturday afternoon in Champaign, IL marks the first time the Owls make the trek to the Land of Lincoln to battle the Fighting Illini.
