What must UNC do to beat Illinois on Saturday?

The Illinois fighting Illini are looking  to avenge a 48-14 loss from the hands of North Carolina last season.

A great deal has changed with both teams from the last time they met however.

North Carolina’s former quarterback Marquise Williams graduated and handed over the job to current starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Trubisky backed up Williams for the past two seasons and is getting his first shot at being the starter.

Illinois comes into this game with a new coach and undefeated record. Former NFL coach Lovie Smith runs the show for Illinois. Last week, Illinois defeated Murray State 52-3.
