The final word: Military to be honored

On Veterans Day weekend, the military will be honored at today's game with a special guest participating before kickoff.

Illinois coach RON ZOOK arranged for Army veteran and Illini fan NATHAN SCHROCK to handle the opening coin toss. Schrock is from Arthur.

If the weather cooperates, a military parachutist will drop at midfield before today's game and hand a ball to Schrock.
