Trip is costly for Illini

A play for that situation had been scripted a week before Saturday's Arch Rivalry game, so when quarterback Juice Williams stepped under center Schultz was confident enough to skip a timeout.

But no one counted on Williams tripping and falling on his behind to hand the ball to Missouri on downs.
