In fact, the Illini offense was so
effective that they scored on their first three possessions, with
their first punt coming with 4:30 to go in the second quarter. The
offense finished the game with 459 yards, their sixth straight game
with over 400 yards.
Harris, coming off a 195-yard
performance against Purdue on Oct. 12, was not given the chance to
better that total. The outcome of the game was pretty well decided
by the start of the fourth quarter, with the score at 42-0, and
Turner decided to sit Harris for the purpose of giving freshman
fullback Jason Davis some touches.
The commitment to the run also opened
up the field for junior quarterback Dustin Ward, who had no trouble
finding open receivers down the field and in the end zone. Ward
connected for touchdowns to Brandon Lloyd and tight end Anthony
McClellan in the first half and found Walter Young with his longest
pass of the game, a 41-yard bomb.

While the story of the game may have
been Antoineo Harris, much of the credit for this win belongs to the
Illinois defense, which earlier in the season couldn’t stop a police
officer in a doughnut shop. The Illini defense forced Indiana to
three plays and out in their first three possessions of the game.
Indiana senior quarterback Gibran
Hamdan came into the game as the Big Ten’s leading passer, but the
Illinois pressure caused him to miss several open receivers. Hamdan
was replaced in the second half, with Indiana coach Gerry DiNardo
commenting, "Gibran did not play well at all, so we felt we needed a
change."

The only relief the Indiana offense
ever saw was when coach Turner started playing his young defensive
backups in the fourth quarter. Indiana was able to muster a couple
of late touchdowns with the game well out of reach.
Kudos to the Illini defense, which
looked nothing like the Swiss cheese they so resembled only weeks
ago!
The Fighting Illini travel to State
College, Pa., this weekend. Let’s hope the momentum from this
two-game winning streak will bring home number three.
Game
notes
Illinois place-kicker
Peter Christofilakos set a new school record with 59 consecutive
extra points made, dating back to Sept. 22, 2001, vs. Louisville. He
broke the previous record of 56 straight made by Doug Higgins from
Nov. 7, 1987, to Nov. 18, 1989.
Senior
running back
Antoineo Harris rushed for over 175 yards for the second
straight game. The last time an Illini running back put together
back-to-back 175-yard games was in 1965 by Jim Grabowski, with 196
vs. Wisconsin and 187 vs. Northwestern.
