#TBT to this classic 1990 Illini Football program—the last time we opened the season ranked #12. That squad beat #11 Colorado in an epic revenge game. Now in 2025, we’re ranked #12 again and returning 16 starters. The cover’s vintage, but the hype is now. 🏈 Were you there in the 90s? Because this year, we’re ready to make history again. #IlliniPride #WhereLegendsBegin illinifootball 📸: UI Archives
