Illini 42 UAB 23…The season is upon us,it’s that time of year, to quote the Drop kick Murphy’s and their famous Christmas song when referring to the current college football season.The Illinois have started well although they have a difficult road to pave ahead of them.The UAB football program was first on their hit list however and the Illini dispatched them quite well.Kaitin Houser threw for three touchdowns and ran for one score in the rout.The Illini prevailed 42 to 23 as the Illini take on Duke next Saturday in another non conference matchup for Illinois.
