Despite a 3 hour drive through flooding rains, nary a drop fell on the Field Turf of Memorial Stadium, and the Illini squeaked by the Ragin' Cajuns 20-17.
1) Heisman hopeful Juice Williams in the first half. He didn't have a very good game.

4) Dufrene and receiver Will Judson celebrate Dufrene's first half touchdown - one of only 2 scored by the Illini during the game: the other was an interception return which I don't believe anyone caught. The Illini wore home orange jerseys, which made background separation a little challenging since most of the 50,000+ also work their traditional orange garb to the game.

Here's a shot of ULL TE Eik Jones scoring a last-minute TD that had me wishing 2 things: First, I wish I hadn't just stood up from kneeling (there were 20 seconds to go in the game and I was preparing to head to the photo tent - stupid me) and second, I wish I had a better camera on my second body than my 20D, as this was one of those times I would have liked to have more than 3-5 fps. Oh well.
