Michigan battles Illinois

---

Illinois will rewind all the way back to the early days of Fighting Illini football when it takes the field against Michigan on Oct. 19, 100 years and one day after Red Grange’s historic six-touchdown performance against the Wolverines during the Memorial Stadium Dedication Game in 1924. 

The Illini will don 1920s-themed uniforms to commemorate the 100th anniversary of that game, with the helmets, jerseys, and pants all designed to mirror the attire worn by Grange and the Fighting Illini football teams that represented the university during the early years of the program’s existence
