It’s 15 minutes before gametime and the Marching Illini are highstepping on the field. The Illini came out in orange jerseys (much better than Syracuse’s duds on Thursday) and white pants.
The stands are a little more than half-filled and it appears to be slightly more gold and black than orange and blue.
