Illinois ready to hit the bricks

Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase would run through a brick wall to get a bowl berth.

"Maybe that should be our motto," he said.

It might be appropriate, he was told after the loss to Minnesota on Saturday, because the Wrigley Field's right-field brick wall is a little more than 1 foot outside the end zone Saturday when the Illini (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) meet Northwestern (7-3, 3-3) at the Friendly Confines (2:30 p.m., ESPNU).
