Illinois will have its hands full with a visit from No. 16 Michigan.

Despite a strong start to the season, the past few weeks have not been kind to the Illini. A 2-0 record is gone after back-to-back tough tosses gave way to a Week 6 blowout at the hands of Minnesota.

Now, Illinois is still looking for its first B1G win of the season in arguably the toughest game of the season to this point. Taking down Jim Harbaugh’s squad will be no easy task, but the Illini are looking to pull off the upset in Champaign.

Ahead of Saturday’s matchup, Illinois Football dropped an intense hype video. Featuring narration from former Illini defender Whitney Mercilus, it features highlights from Michigan games of the past.

Needless to say, it’s the perfect way to get ready for the weekend:

Saturday’s kickoff is set for 12 pm EST on ABC.
