Crucial series

And NU is making the most of it.

McManis started it off with a kickoff return to the 44. Then Bacher found Jones for 11, into Illini territory. Then Bacher and Peterman did a nice little pitch and catch for 32 yards, down to the 13.

Peterman takes an end around down to the 4. Then Sutton runs for a 1st down to the 1.

Sutton in for the score. He willed it in.

Villarreal kicks the extra point.

Illinois 21, NU 7.

6 plays, 56 yards in only 1:37. It's just that easy sometimes.

If NU wins this game, it'll be the past drive that did it. Well, not literally. 2:34 in the half.
