Game Notes
Illini bring down the Spartans 23-20 for 1st Big 10 win since 2004.
A week after blowing a big 4th quarter lead against Notre Dame, Michigan State sinks really low, falling to Illinois on Jason Reda's 39-yard FG w/ :06 left in the game. Reda nails 3 FGs for the Illini, and Jacob Willis catches 3 passes for 91 yards, with 2 ending in the end zone.
After the Spartans' Demond Williams returns an INT 62 yards for a TD, tying it 10-10, Willis catches a 16-yard TD pass from E.B. Halsey on the halfback pass giving Illinois a 17-10 lead in the 3rd quarter. Pierre Thomas Jr. runs for 110 yards for the Illini.
