You are getting a classic Illinois football Big Ten matchup on Saturday.
The Illini will head west to the state of Washington to take on the Washington Huskies. Having Washington in the Big Ten still has some getting used to, but Illinois has a chance to get bowl eligible and continue the march to the College Football Playoff on Saturday.
Illinois’ next step in the process is beating a talented Washington program. This team has a quarterback who can light the place up, so the Illini will need to be ready defensively.
