Touchdown #Illini! Who else, but Hank Beatty to get the Illini their first TD of the game. Finding an opening in the end zone as pass-protection broke down, Altmyer connects with his No. 1 wideout. 10-0, Illini, 13:31 2Q

End of 1Q, #Illini 3, WMU 0/ In limited reps, Ca'Lil Valentine is giving the Illini backfield a jolt. More touches may bode well for opening up the Illini lead.
