ST. LOUIS (AP)—For a change, it’s Illinois bringing all the star power to the neutral-site opener against Missouri. For the first time in a long while, it’s the Tigers who are untested and unappreciated.
Illini quarterback Juice Williams passed for more than 450 yards and five touchdowns in a losing cause against Missouri last year, among three stadium yardage records he set. He’s unquestionably the marquee name heading into Saturday’s so-called Arch Rivalry, one of eight returning starters on offense that makes the Illini close to a touchdown favorite to end a four-game losing streak in the series.
Not too confident, though. Illinois was 5-7 last year, after all.
