The Fighting Illini are overjoyed after a home win against arch-rival Missouri
The Illini started the year off right beating down their Rival Missouri. Illinois didnt turn over the ball once and overall had a pretty clean game. Juice Williams looked sharp and Dufrene looked alright until he got knocked out of the game in the third quarter. Benn is on pace for another great year and Fayson had a great start to his Career at Illinois. The defense looked a little shaky but should improve with time. Jefferson stepped into the starting job at MLB and played valiantly recording 10 tackles and earning Big Ten Defender of the week honors.
