WATCH: Illinois drops hype video ahead of game vs. USF
Published:
Illinois had a close call Week 1 against Kent State and didn’t have many issues Week 2 against Western Illinois.
As of now, the Fighting Illini are perfect in 2018 at 2-0. In Week 3, however, the team is playing USF, which brings a different kind of challenge. According to mybookie.ag, Illinois is an 11-point underdog on Saturday.
The game is an intriguing one — outside of the fact that it’s the first contest where the Fighting Illini isn’t a favorite — because it is being played at Soldier Field. Soldier Field is typically where the Chicago Bears play its home games.
Ahead of the first true test for Illinois, the team posted a hype video for the battle against the Bulls:
Illinois-USF is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on Saturday. The game will be televised on BTN.
