A rout to success

Wow! Adjust your thinking. Start saving for a bowl trip.

In what stacked up as a crossroads event Saturday, Ron Zook's 3-2 Illini took the correct fork at Penn State and romped home, 33-13. And before you question the word "romp," consider Illinois outgained Penn State 430-234, led in first downs 19-7 and possessed the ball for 38 of 60 minutes.
