Bob Asmussen hands out grades for Illinois following its loss at Iowa:
Player of the Game Offense
Iowa’s Jordan Canzeri
The senior running back will sleep well the next few days after taking the ball 43 times. The New Yorker became the first Iowa running back to go over 200 yards since Mark Weisman hit 217 against Central Michigan in 2012. We sense a Big Ten Player of the Week award coming.
Illinois: C
Iowa: A-
The good part for the Illini, they threw for 317 yards. The bad part, they ran for only 46.
