Big Ten Conference member University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign represents itself in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college football by way of the Illinois Fighting Illini football team. The Fighting Illini have a storied history that began in 1890 and includes five national championships and three Big Ten titles. Memorial Stadium in Champaign is the home field for the team and is famous for its huge seating area and the party atmosphere of game days. Not too long ago, the Fighting Illini lifted some of those clouds with a new head coach brought down from the Upper Midwest, Bret Bielema, a man intent on turning the program around through strong recruiting and a renewed commitment to physical, disciplined football in the 2021 season. However, consistency continued to be a chassis for whom it was always a struggle to reach their full potential. The season, littered with upsets and competitive play, was not kind to them. That would start a rebuilding period that would bring the Illini back to sustaining competitiveness in the Big Ten. Illinois tried to grow and improve in the 2022 season, and it displayed notable, if small, signs of improvement and some promise of better performance on defense. There were signs of the team developing with more competitive efforts against conference opponents under the system Coach Bielema was trying to implement. Illinois Fighting Illini focuses on building a program that can consistently place at the top of the Big Ten Conference.
