Illinois Fighting Illini secured a decisive victory over Maryland, winning twenty-four to six, after their second bye week in four weeks. This win brings their season record to seven wins and three losses, with four wins and three losses in Big Ten play. The struggling Maryland team, now with four wins and six losses, has lost six games in a row. Illinoiss success was largely due to their vastly improved third-down defense, holding Maryland to just three conversions out of twelve attempts, a mere twenty-five percent. They also shut down Maryland on fourth down, preventing any conversions on two tries. Offensively, wide receiver Hudson Clement had a standout game, scoring two touchdowns, and the Illinis rushing attack had its best game of the season, gaining two hundred twenty-five yards on the ground. This strong showing in both defense and offense bodes well for Illinois as they head into the final stretch of their season.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
