Fresno State Athletics Director Thomas Boeh announced a home-and-home series with the University of Illinois will begin next fall.

The Illinois Fighting Illini, coached by Ron Zook, will host Fresno State Nov. 21, 2009 and the 'Dogs host Illinois Dec. 5, 2010.

The Illinois program has produced some of the most recognizable names in football history, including George Halas, Red Grange and Dick Butkus.

"We are pleased for our student-athletes and fans that this upcoming series with Illinois will bring another deeply respected Big Ten opponent to Bulldog Stadium," said Boeh.
