Illini run fade route

Referring to the scrambling nature of Scheelhaase's play, Beckman said: "Nathan is getting a lot of pressure. He is trying to make the most of those situations. He doesn't always have time to go to the next key, and he just tucks and goes."

Except for two misdirection keepers that fooled the Badgers for 29 and 24 yards, Illinois had no ground game whatsoever. On the other 30 rushes, Illinois netted 53 yards. Illinois is simply being outmuscled up front by the likes of Penn State and Wisconsin, and it faces a similar test next Saturday at Michigan.
