Right tackle Melvin Priestly’s early injury sent a wave of concern through Memorial Stadium, especially with starting right guard Brandon Henderson already out. Relief swept over the crowd when Priestly returned just minutes later, back in action. Meanwhile, quarterback Luke Altmyer is showing impressive growth—calm in the pocket, connecting well with new receivers, and already racking up two touchdowns in the first quarter. Illinois leads 14-0 after one, but the big question is: how will these early injuries impact the team’s momentum and depth as the season unfolds? What’s your take on the Illini’s resilience so far? #Sports #Football #IllinoisFootball
