Former Ball State quarterback John Paddock led the Illinois Fighting Illini to an improbable 27-26 comeback win against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Paddock came off the bench, trailing 26-21, and facing a fourth-and-15 situation from the Illini 11-yard line. He completed three consecutive passes for 22, 17, and 46 yards, resulting in a touchdown with 50 seconds left. Wide receiver Isaiah Williams had a standout performance with 13 receptions for 131 yards and two touchdowns.
