RERUN TIME — TOUCHDOWN ILLINOIS!

HOUSER —> DIXON!

Barry Lunney Jr. in his bag — and Collin Dixon is reaping all the benefits.

Collin Dixon's third TD of the day on a play-action fake on 3rd-and-goal from the 2.

#illini 24, Duke 14; 1:48 left 2Q.

Collin Dixon is on pace for 45 TD receptions this season.

Brayden Trimble comes up limping after being tackled on that play.

Something to monitor #Illini

Collin Dixon with another huge play. #illini senior already has a career-high 117 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the first half.

A fake punt leads to a score for Duke by Sheppard.

Not something you want to see from this defense.

Katin Houser and Co. will need to put this team on their back. #Illini

This #Illini coaching staff tends to squander timeouts with a lead early, but they tend not to use them at a deficit late.

So It’s a wash, they wouldn’t have used them anyway.

🤷🏻‍♂️

#illini defense was about to force a punt midfield and the special teams can't stop a fake punt. Four plays later, Duke is in the end zone.

#illini 17, Duke 14; 7:05 left 2Q

12 plays, 75 yards; 5:42 TOP on Duke scoring drive

The lack of tackling on that run was WILD! HIT SOMEONE! #Illini

#illini stuff Duke on 3rd-and-2 for a 2-yard loss. But Duke converts a fake punt. Illini looked rushed to the line and unprepared for it.

Wow. No targeting for #illini Matthew Bailey. Illinois dodges a bullet there.

Mac Resetich also back on the field.

Penalties: Duke 4-55, #illini 4-42

HOUSER TO DIXON #2!

On 4th down, Katin Houser just found a WIDE OPEN Collin Dixon for the score!

This offense is something special! #Illini

Look at our post-times. Jinx, buy me a Coke.

TOUCHDOWN ILLINOIS! HOUSER —> DIXON!

Barry "Ballsy" Lunney Jr.
