It's finally here...game week is upon us. The Fighting Illini open the season against Arkansas State this Saturday (2:30 pm CT, BTN) at Memorial Stadium. The game marks the first of five straight home games for Illinois, something that is unprecedented in the long history of Memorial Stadium. The team is ready, the weather forecast looks great and the lots open bright and early at 7 am, so why not dust off that tailgating gear and get your tickets?
In the mean time, check out Monday morning's post-practice interview and look for Week 1 game notes later this afternoon.
