#illini Tanner Heckel: We'd do anything for Bret Bielema. He gives us his all every day so we give him our all every day. A great leader. I'd do anything for him.

Coach Bielema showing some love to his players after an @IlliniFootball win 🙌

Illinois is 24-10 over the last three seasons, the fourth-best record in the Big Ten since the conference expanded behind only Indiana, Ohio State, and Oregon.

Bielema won his 24th game since 2024, tied for the winningest three-year run by a head coach in Illini history.

FIRST PLAY of the 4th quarter and Javari Barnett takes it 64 yards to give @IlliniFootball the lead!

#illini WR Collin Dixon leads the Big Ten in receptions (53), is No. 4 in receiving yards (673) and No. 2 in receiving touchdowns (10).

What a catch from Collin Dixon to extend Illinois' lead!

ILLINOIS IS GONNA HAND OREGON THEIR 3RD LOSS 🤯
