Memorial Stadium was less than half full (31,465) for the Illini's season-ending 38-21 loss to Northwestern. Illinois showed a lot of life in the first half, trading scores with NU for a 3-point halftime deficit. The Illini were held scoreless in the 2nd half, thus putting to bed Ron Zook's first year misery as head coach. Filed under: Illini Football, Illinois Loyalty Photos, Northwestern Wildcats
