CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Remember the John Paddock against Purdue and Penn State? His performances then seem like a distant memory.
After leading Illinois on a game-winning, 85-yard drive last week against Minnesota, John Paddock got his first start of the season with Luke Altymer sidelined due to injury.
The sixth-year senior has made the most of the opportunity thus far, passing for 316 first-half yards and two touchdowns.
