Where's Benn been?
November 14, 2009 9:20 PM
In Saturday's 21-16 loss to Northwestern, Benn caught the first pass of the game for minus yardage, and didn't catch another until the Wildcats had built a 21-3 lead in the fourth quarter.
Oh, the Illini tried. Reaching the NU 6-yard line early, Jacob Charest's pass led him out of the end zone. In the second quarter, Charest fired from the NU 30 but overthrew him deep. Before halftime, a pass toward Benn drew a 15-yard interference call against the Wildcats. Another pass was low. Nothing materialized, and Ron Zook turned at halftime to Eddie McGee, who threw one pass (out of 13 plays) in the third quarter. That was a potential 44-yard TD bomb that sailed over Benn's head.
