Illinois drops hype video for much-anticipated primetime battle with Iowa
Illinois is off to one of its best starts in recent history. Now, the Illini put their 4-1 record to the test with a Week 6 visit from Iowa.
Though Iowa has won 8 straight in the series – including a 33-23 game in 2021 – Illinois looks to have a bit of momentum rolling into the weekend. The winner of Saturday’s game will also maintain pace in a wide-open B1G West race.
Also adding to the matchup, Illinois will be hosting a primetime battle with kickoff set for 7:30 pm ET on BTN. Head coach Bret Bielema is also doing his part in urging fans to pack Memorial Stadium and set an intense home-field advantage against the Hawkeyes.
On Thursday, Illinois dropped its hype video for the weekend, and it’s a great way to get fans ready and raring to go on Saturday. Take a look:
