[NU Sports] Favorite NU vs. Illinois games

[Jim Bendat]

Okay, I'll start a new thread:  favorite NU-Illinois games from the past.

I'll pick two:  1970 -- we had started the season 0-3, but really seemed 
to be better than that.  Our first conference game was against the 
Illini.  We were hoping to get that elusive win.  We got it, all right 
-- by an amazing score of 48-0.  We then started to roll.  We finished 
6-1 in the conference, tied with Michigan for second place, one game 
behind Ohio State.

My other selection is 1996.  Adrian Autry took over for an injured 
Darnell Autry and scored the winning TD with about a minute to play.  
Final score:  NU, 27-24.

Okay, gang, your turn!
