Episode Notes
Illinois will visit Ohio State on Sept. 26 in the Big Ten opener for both teams in 2026, and Jeremy Werner of IlliniInquirer.com joined Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis on this episode to break down the Week 4 matchup. The Bill and Doug Show is running through the entire regular season schedule for the Buckeyes with videos and podcasts on this feed, and written breakdowns at their Substack at https://billanddougosu.substack.com
Illinois hasn't beaten Ohio State since 2007, and the Buckeyes handled business at Illinois a year ago. There's a new QB, a new offensive line, and a new defensive coordinator in Champaign. But Bret Bielema is still there in Year 6 leading the Illini, who seem to have become a pretty solid Tier 2 team in the Big Ten. Does that mean they can give Ohio State a game? Thanks as always for joining The Bill and Doug Show.
