The Fighting Illini Sneak away with a Victory against Terrapins Saturday
QB Nathan Scheelhaase played a all around good game throwing for 278 yards and 2 TDS. Both TDS were both over 70 yards. WR Jamie Ivey caught one on a deep fly route for 73 yards and WR Cordale Scott caught the 2nd TD on a 10 yard curl and after a few broken tackles he came away with a 76 yard TD. RB Richard Samuel ran for 77 yards and a key TD. The Fighting Illini came into the game with the #1 rushing defense. They held RB Devin Meggett to less than 50 yards rushing. But QB Jamarr Robinson kept the defense on its heels. “ We never knew if he was going to throw the ball or run. We just did our best to contain him and keep him for short yardage.” Said Coach Kelly. In the 4th Quarter kicker N. Ferrara kicked a 23 yard FG that brought the Terrapins within 4 points of the Illini with 3 minutes left. The Fighting Illini took the field and got 4 first downs and ran the clock out not giving the Terrapins another chance to score. The final Score was 24-20. The Fighting Illini have played hard all year long behind the stand out play of Scheelhaase , Ivey, and Scott. The Defense has made plays and kept points off the board with the heavy pass rush from Genn Foster and Daryle Ballew. “ Im interested in finding out what the BCS is going to do with us. Whatever it is we will be ready” Said Coach Kelly.
