Orange Team won by a lot in a very fun Illinois Spring Game The Illini won! Share this story Twitter: @IlliniFootball A new era of Illinois Football opened Monday night under the lights at Memorial Stadium. Bret Bielema returned an April tradition with the Spring Game, where Orange beat Blue, 65-15. Here are the biggest takeaways! 1. Brandon Peters!! Good! In case you forgot, BP is back — again. And while the job is possibly open for Isaiah Williams to take, Peters made an argument Monday that he is QB1. He had a number of great throws early in the game, including a dime to Donny Navarro.
