Zook Feeling the Heat After Homecoming Meltdown

Illini - Indiana
Kyle Hudson 35 yd TD pass from Juice Williams.

Like Illinois last week, Indiana broke a long Big Ten road loosing streak Saturday by kicking a last-second game-winning FG to spoil its opponent's Homecoming. The Illini built a hefty 25-7 lead early in the 2nd quarter via an outstanding passing attack. Fast forward past the part where the Hoosiers stormed back to take the lead, and regained by Illinois, and you've got the Illini leading 32-31 going into the 4th quarter. In 4 possessions in the 4th quarter, Illinois threw deep only once and picked up only 1 first down. The defense held until the final possession when IU made big plays to get the ball down to the 15 to setup Austin Starr's 33 yd FG attempt with 0:01 left.
