How to Watch No. 17 Illinois Football vs No. 1 Ohio State

Ryan Day’s reigning national champion Buckeyes are loaded with NFL-caliber talent, including potential Heisman candidate Julian Sayin leading the way at quarterback with 1,313 total yards and 13 touchdowns, compared to 3 takeaways on the season. At 5-0, and riding a wave of dominance, this top-ranked Ohio State program is locked in on the goal of repeating in 2025.

Meanwhile, while Bielema’s Illini are looking to continue their own surge after reclaiming the Cannon with back-to-back victories over USC and Purdue, this veteran Illinois team has shown major resilience, and with momentum back on their side, the stage is set to make a massive statement in front of a national audience—especially with FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff and the Barstool Sports crew returning to campus for the second time this season.

According to ESPN, Illinois enters this matchup as 14.5-point underdogs at home. Will Ohio State live up to early predictions and run away with a dominant road win? Or, can the Fighting Illini defy expectations and pull off what would go down as one of the greatest victories in program history?
