(WAND) - The #23 Illinois Fighting Illini will host #21 USC for their Homecoming matchup, headlined by Big Noon Kickoff's pregame show coming to Champaign for the first time ever.
Illinois is coming off a 63-10 blowout loss to the Indiana Hoosiers. The Illini will be without star cornerback Xavier Scott, who will likely miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
