Illini party like it's 1999

They stormed the field as if they had won the Rose Bowl. Or the BCS Championship game. A year after 3-9, any bowl win feels great.

Led by a redshirt freshman quarterback and a record-setting townie, Illinois won its first postseason game since 1999.

The 38-14 victory against Baylor gave Illinois a 7-6 record, its first winning season since 2007 and the fourth since 1994.
