[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1802342, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/illini/chase-brown-leads-illinois-to-26-14-win-over-minnesota/article_ba4796f5-cc5e-5b10-8332-c2a129c365b8.html[/URL] y ANDERSON KIMBALL CHAMPAIGN — Like he has all season, Chase Brown carried the load for the Illinois offense. Brown finished with 233 total yards on the day, and Illinois rode him for 41 carries and 180 rushing yards in a 26-14 win over Minnesota that made the Illini bowl eligible for the first time since 2019 and kept them in a tie for first in the Big Ten West. “I’m extremely proud of him,” Lineman Alex Palczewski said. “The entire offensive line being able to block for him, we know that if we’re able to just do our job and get him on the safety he’s going to make something special happen.” Brown was the focal point of an offense that had 472 yards against a defense that entered the day second in the country in points allowed and first in total defense. Brown opened the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown catch on a wheel route from Tommy DeVito. Brown has 1,059 yards this season. He’s the fastest Illini to get to 1,000 rushing yards in a season and has now climbed to No. 6 on the Illinois career rushing yards leaderboard. Illinois opened the scoring with a nine-play 75-yard drive that ended with DeVito finding Brown for a score to put the Illini up 7-0 with 10:56 left in the first. DeVito started the game by completing his first nine passes and finished 25 for 32 for 252 yards and a touchdown in a return after leaving last week’s game against Iowa with an ankle injury. -------------------------------------------------------- Such a solid dominating performance by the beloved.......The stats were overwhelmingly in the illini's favor , but the major stat was the 26-14 final score ... Rest up , heal up and be ready to detassle the jerkers...........6-1 sounds awesome , but 7-1 with a fully recovered squad sounds so much better.............. LET'S GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
