LIVE FEED: ILLINOIS VS. SOUTH CAROLINA – A HISTORIC MATCHUP
For the first time in history, the Illinois Fighting Illini and the South Carolina Gamecocks will face off in what promises to be a thrilling battle as both ranked teams vie for their 10th win of the season.
Illinois Brings the Firepower
Leading the charge for Illinois is junior quarterback Luke Altmyer, a former Ole Miss Rebel who has been nothing short of spectacular this season.
Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 205 pounds, Altmyer has been a consistent force under center. His stats tell the story:
- 198 completions on 325 attempts
- 2,543 passing yards
- 21 touchdowns
- Only five interceptions
Altmyer’s precision and ability to limit mistakes have made him one of the standout quarterbacks in college football this year.
South Carolina’s Challenges
The Gamecocks have faced significant adversity this season. While they managed to defeat Akron in Week 4 without their offensive star Sanders, they’ve yet to play a game without their defensive stalwart Kennard.
Kennard’s absence looms large, as he leads the team with:
- 11.5 sacks
- 20 solo tackles
- Three forced fumbles
His impact on the defense has been undeniable, and South Carolina will need to rally to fill the void against Illinois’ potent offense.
