Illinois ends regular season with loss to Fresno State
December 4, 2010 9:45 AM
Coach Pat Hill has made a career out of taking risks at Fresno State. So it came as no surprise when he decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 in his own territory protecting a two-point lead late in the fourth quarter.
The move paid off by about an inch and Fresno State went on to beat Illinois 25-23 on Friday night to end the regular season the way it started, with a home victory over a team from a major conference.
"If that had gone the other way I don't know what I'd be talking about right now," Hill said. "I have to give our kids a lot of credit. We needed a yard and we got a yard and an inch."
