Game two of the season as Virginia looks to ride the momentum against Illinois in this week’s early kickoff. Last year was a tune-up against in-state FCS team William & Mary. This week, though nominally another Power Five school, should also be a tune-up game as well, at least on paper. Illinois defeated a Nebraska team that is far from the mid-1990s Nebraska we remember in Week 0, then lost to UTSA in Week 1.
I know it’s early, and by the time I hit publish on this article, you’re probably already a couple mimosas or ham sandwiches in already, but enjoy the early kick — the next three are all 7:30 p.m. games.
