Illinois vs. Ohio State Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report & Odds

The Illinois Fighting Illini carry a two-win and one-loss record into their opening conference matchup against the seventh-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Both programs enter this weekend seeking to bounce back following nonconference defeats against Power Four opponents during the second week of action.

Kickoff is scheduled for eleven in the morning Central Time at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, with television coverage provided by FOX and radio broadcasts managed through the Busey Bank Illini Sports Network.

Ohio State enters the contest carrying a ten-game winning streak in the head-to-head series, having previously defeated their opponents thirty-four to sixteen during last year's meeting in Champaign. The upcoming fixture also presents head coach Bret Bielema's roster an opportunity to secure their first victory against this opponent since a twenty-eight to twenty-one triumph away from home back in 2007.

DraftKings Sportsbook lists the home side as twenty-five and a half point favorites with a total set at fifty-three and a half points, alongside an extensive injury report listing numerous unavailable players for both squads.
