SENIOR CAPTAIN Reggie McPherson makes the most blatant pass interference ever (following Dixon's gaffe ... also a senior) on Cumberland. On a ball that was well behind Cumberland. On a ball that McPherson was probably in a better position to catch.

Then the Illini get back to the business of running the ball.

3rd and 6 at the NU 10.

Williams misses a wide open receiver high.

Reda on to kick the 27-yard field goal. 9 plays, 58 yards, 4:06.

Illinois 38, NU 14.

9:35 to go.
