Illinois scored on the opening drive of the game and never lost the lead. The Boilermakers did make it a challenge, however.
On the Boilermaker's opening series, quarterback Hudson Card threw a pick 6 to go down 14-0. They were able to take the ball and score on a 3 yard run from Devin Mockobee to go down 14-7.
The biggest news of the game was immense struggle the Boilermakers had in the Redzone, highlighted by getting stopped at the 1 and an interception. The defense was also unable to capitalize on mistakes, and in one instance, dropped a pass in the endzone.
Illinois jumped out to an early lead and then held on late to defeat the Boilermakers in a B1G Conference game 31-28 at Memorial Stadium.
