CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The problem that Bret Bielema faces ahead of the 2023 season isn't exactly a bad one, considering the struggles Illinois football has dealt with in the past. Thanks to an 8-5 season in 2022 that featured a number of players finding their way onto the radar of college football fans and pundits, there are positive expectations for the Illini heading into the 2023 campaign.The season opens up Saturday night at Memorial Stadium when Illinois hosts reigning Mid-American Conference champion Toledo at 6:30 p.m. After knocking on the door of a Big Ten West title a season ago, there is hope from some they might be able to pull off that program first this season.That's quite a change from Bielema's first two seasons, presenting a common challenge for the veteran college coach: How to put positive preseason hype in perspective.
