Illinois vs Duke: Can Illini Keep Momentum | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois crushed UAB 42-23 in a dazzling opener, showcasing a revamped squad with Katin Houser lighting up the offense—so much so that key players barely saw action. But with Duke looming next, the Illini must stay sharp: the Blue Devils, who stunned Tulane 17-3, are loaded with new faces on defense and at QB—and they’re hungry to avenge last year’s loss to Illinois. Duke’s D shut down Tulane’s run game; can it stop Illinois’ explosive RB duo and elite offensive line? With a sold-out stadium and national TV watching, this Saturday’s showdown could be Illinois’ biggest test yet—and if they play like they did in week one, they’ve got a shot to keep rolling.
