It’s Illini Football preview day at The Athletic
It’s nice of a national sports outlet to devote a little longform to every team in every power five conference in the country. Even the worst ones.
From what I can tell, the difference between making a meaningless bowl game and not making any bowl game next year depends on two things:
1 – If the Illini can land Brandon Peters, a transfer quarterback from Michigan.
2- If Isaiah Williams blows us all away from the jump.
Ugh.
