The 23rd ranked Illinois Fighting Illini are coming off a bye week to travel to Washington on Saturday (2:30pm CDT, BTN) in a crucial Big Ten matchup.
Illinois (5-2, 2-2 in Big Ten) needs a win over the Huskies (5-2, 2-2) to keep alive any hopes of being in consideration for a College Football Playoff bid at season's end.
IlliniGuys co-founder Mike Cagley has more on the game in the latest edition of I on The Illini here:
