Game 2 notes: Illinois at Arizona State
September 5, 2012 9:20 AM
# The Illini are looking for their second-straight 2-0 start, something that hasn't happened in back-to-back seasons at Illinois since 2000 and '01.
# The Illini defense held WMU to negative-6 rushing yards, a total that leads the nation after the first weekend of play. It marked the first time Illinois had held an opponent to negative yards rushing since the 1998 home-opener, when Middle Tennessee had negative-9 yards (9/12/98).
# In the last two games combined, the Illini defense has allowed just 12 total rushing yards - 18 against UCLA in the 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and negative-6 to Western Michigan on Saturday.
