Houser Shines in Illinois Win | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois football explodes on opening night, dominating UAB 42-23 behind a sensational debut from new QB Katin Houser, who threw three TDs and ran one in. Houser connected with Collin Dixon twice, tossed a jaw-dropping Hail Mary to Ty Robinson, and led a balanced attack that included 88 yards from CaLil Valentine. The defense rolled out a new 3-3-5 scheme and sealed the win with Ismael Kante’s 59-yard pick-six. Now 1-0, Illinois heads home to face Duke — a team they beat last year — looking sharp and hungry for more. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
