INDIANA 34, ILLINOIS 32: Illini quickly run out of juice


CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Colleges :: INDIANA 34, ILLINOIS 32: Illini quickly run out of juice:
"So Illinois' 23-20 shocker at Michigan State last week was just a tease after all.

The upset shoe was on the other foot Saturday. Indiana marched down the field and kicked a field goal with no time left to beat Illinois 34-32.

''I don't think we're back to starting over,'' middle linebacker J Leman said of the Illini's quest for respectability under second-year coach Ron Zook. ''But this sure ain't a step forward. So it must be a step back.''

What hurts about this one is that Illinois (2-4, 1-2) was playing a fellow Big Ten doormat in the Hoosiers (3-3, 1-1), who looked vulnerable in home losses to Connecticut and Division I-AA Southern Illinois, not to mention a butt-kicking from Wisconsin."
