On Saturday, the Illinois football team will look to get back on track against the USC Trojans.
This is a game that will feature two top 25 programs that are looking to make the College Football Playoff. After the Illini went into Bloomington and fell to the Indiana Hoosiers this past weekend, we need a huge win to get back on track.
Meanwhile, USC is looking to strengthen their resume with a win over a top 25 program. They are in the hunt for that coveted spot in the College Football Playoff, and a win over Illinois would be big for them.
Here is the Illinois football vs USC Trojans – How to watch, weather, and series history

There is a massive top 25 matchup on Saturday that features No. 23 Illinois taking on No. 21 USC. You can catch this contest on FOX starting at 11:00 a.m. CT/12:00 p.m. ET. Another great way to watch the game is with FuboTV.

- Illinois football vs USC Trojans – Series history
I don’t like the historical matchup between Illinois and USC. The Trojans are a traditional power, and that is reflected in the overall record between these two teams.
USC is currently winning the series 11-2. And yes, the last matchup was the 2008 Rose Bowl when the Trojans stomped us, 49-17.
Illinois was able to win the first-ever matchup between the two teams back in 1935, 19-0. The only other win was in 1989. That was a great 10-2 campaign for the Illini, and USC was the No. 5 team in the country at the time. Jeff George and them boys pulled off the huge upset.
