Touchdown Indiana. Sorsby pushes through from five yards out. #iufb
Illinois has five touchdown drives today. They've averaged 81 yards, and only five plays. #iufb
THE ILLINOIS OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT https://t.co/cj2KkDYraM
Touchdown Indiana. Love largely untouched from 37 yards out. IU's defense has just imploded today. #iufb
END OF 3Q: Illinois leads Indiana 33-27. #iufb
Indiana has not figured out *anything* in coverage today. A team that averages 233.9 passing yards per game has nearly double that near the end of the third quarter. #iufb
Interception Illinois. Sorsby's target on Coby down the sideline sails high, and the safety over top picks it off. Indiana's mistakes starting to undo its aims here. #iufb
ILLINOIS BACK IN THE LEAD https://t.co/ZJodmlyt2x
Two teams currently combining for 13 penalties and 149 yards. Illinois also just scored a touchdown to take its first lead since 9-7. #iufb
Indiana shouldโve gone for it. Illinois canโt stop their passing game.
Ugly execution on third down stops a promising drive for Indiana. Hoosiers had 3rd and 2 and Illinois blew it up for a loss that probably also dissuaded Tom Allen from any notion of going for it on fourth down. #iufb
Fumble recovered by Illinois. Boy that drive was a journey. #iufb
Touchback begins the third quarter. IU with the ball. #iufb
HOOISER AND ILLINI SHOOTOUT! Illinois makes it 27-26 right before the half! https://t.co/1ssl5DVKNI
HALFTIME: IU leads Illinois 27-26. If I'd told you the Hoosiers would lead by one at half, you'd probably have taken it. If I told you it would happen like this, you wouldn't believe me. #iufb
The catch stands as called. I do now know how they got to that decision, but Illinois gets a break and is in touching distance of the end zone. #iufb
McCulley is back. Sorsby is sacked. IU will punt for the first time in a while. #iufb
Touchdown Illinois. I think the o/u on this game was something like 44. We have broken it with 3:05 left in the first half. #iufb
A holding call on Tip Reiman rolls back an Illinois kickoff return for a touchdown. This half has everything. #iufb https://t.co/XMncfW45od
Touchdown Indiana. Sorsby busts through two tackles and rumbles in from 18 yards out. #iufb
Indianaโs Donaven McCulley has 100 yards receiving โ his first career 100-yard game โ and 2 TDs โ with 8:22 to play in the 2nd quarter. Seven targets, seven receptions (including one vs. pass interference). The 6-5 receiver from Lawrence North is becoming a legit dude. #iufb
Interception Indiana. Paddock drops the snap, picks it up and in a panic throws it straight to Louis Moore. #iufb
McCulley's current line: 7 targets, 7 catches, 100 receiving yards, two touchdowns. This is now: >> McCulley's first-career 100-yard game. >> McCulley's first-career game with multiple touchdowns. >> A career high in catches. #iufb
Touchdown Indiana. Donaven McCulley is *torching* Illinois right now. He has seven catches on seven targets, the last one a back-shoulder touchdown despite being interfered with. #iufb
Illinois and Indiana the offensive shootout we all expected. #iufb
Touchdown Indiana. Sorsby to McCulley, who is already having himself a day. #iufb
END OF 1Q: IU trails Illinois 9-7. Hoosiers have 2nd-and-goal upcoming. #iufb
Indiana trying to hit right back. Sorsby sells a double move and hits Donaven McCulley for a gain of 41 yards. #iufb
Loooong gain for Illinois on first down. Either JoJo Johnson played zone when he needed to play man or there was confusion on Cover 2 vs. 3. Either way, 67 yards, and Illinois scores on the next play. Touchdown Illini. Indiana can't make it that easy today. #iufb
Ruling stands. Touchdown Hoosiers. #iufb
Timeout Illinois, facing 3rd-and-goal from the half-yard line. #iufb
Illinois muffs the ensuing punt and Indiana recovers it at the Illini 34. #iufb
Consecutive three-and-outs for Indiana to start. Hoosiers getting very little on first and second downs. #iufb
A defensive holding call will give Illinois a free set of downs inside the IU 10, after the Hoosiers thought they had a stop. #iufb
Indiana goes a rather non-descript three-and-out on its opening drive. #iufb
