The Illinois Illini had an extremely successful 2007 season, in which it went 9-4 under head coach Ron Zook. Zook's two previous seasons only produced four wins, but the 2007 season was a pleasant surprise, and the Illini went to the Rose Bowl with their nine wins. But the University of Southern California proved to be too much of a task for the Illini and they fell 49-17.

The Illinois Illini schedule was extremely difficult, as they had to take on Missouri for their first game of the season. They lost that game 40-34, but that would be only one of four losses.
