NASHVILLE, TN (WAND) -- We're just one day away from kickoff of the Music City Bowl here in Nashville.

The Illini are preparing for their second straight bowl game, and they wrapped up practices Sunday afternoon, but for having an off day on Monday. 

But while they are all business, getting ready for Tennessee, players also are soaking in all of the moments this week leading up to their last game of the 2025 season. 

The Music City Bowl game kicks off Tuesday Dec. 30 at 4:30 p.m. at Nissan Stadium.
