Weekly Report Posted: September 10, 2008 00:12
The University of Louisiana Lafayette is coming to champagne this weekend to take on our #13 Fighting Illini. This will be Illinois' last game to get everything in order before Big Ten play begins. Look for another blow out with more back ups playing as this one shouldn't be a very close game as long as the Illini don't overlook them.

The Illinis had no problem beating ULL yesterday in their finally out of conference game. All facets of the game going well scoring on a kick and punt return. The pass defense was the only weak point allowing over 200 yards. The run game and passing game was solid again, as was the run defense.
