#19 Washington at Illinois
The Huskies will be traveling to Soldier Field to take on a vastly improved Illinois team, and the Illini faithful will be out in full force. Illinois is coming off of a solid shellacking of Cincinnati by a score of 45-17, and their offense put up over 500 yards of total offense. The Huskies are coming off of a bye week and will have star tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins back (from suspension) in the lineup which is a much needed boost. Illinois is known for running multiple formations and you should expect to see the same thing come Saturday. If the Illini can catch the Huskies sleeping after their bye week, it could be a frustrating night for Sarkisian’s team.
