Illinois explodes to a 42-23 win over UAB, led by breakout QB Katin Houser, who threw for over 200 yards, three TDs, and even ran one in — including a jaw-dropping 54-yard bomb before halftime. Collin Dixon snagged two scores, Ca’Lil Valentine powered the ground game with 88 yards and a TD, and Ismeal Kante sealed it with an interception return for a touchdown. The Illini are now 1-0, showing major promise with their new offensive spark. Next up: a huge test against ACC champs Duke on Sept. 12 — can they handle the pressure?
