UAB Blazers at Illinois Fighting Illini

Brett Beilema starts his sixth season as the head man at Illinois by welcoming UAB Dragons to Champaign for a night tilt. Katin Houser will be under center for the Illini and his presence will be more than enough to get the scoreboards moving. Ryder Burton lines up at center on the other side of the ball for UAB and while the BYU transfer is a gamer, this game belongs to the boys in orange and blue; go with Illinois.
