Illinois Aims to Bounce Back Against Southern Illinois | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois football just got knocked out of the Top 25 after a brutal home loss to Duke, but they’re ready to bounce back this Saturday against Southern Illinois — their last tune-up before conference play. With a bowl-winning season behind them and a winning streak on the line, Coach Bielema’s squad needs this one to reignite momentum. Favored heavily, they’ll lean on star receiver Collin Dixon (tied for national lead in TDs) and steady QB Katin Houser (3 TDs in each of first two games). Kickoff at 1 p.m. on Peacock — don’t miss it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
