Illinois 9, Iowa 6: “We’ll be alright”
Can you complain about losing games you don’t deserve to win?
The Iowa Hawkeyes (3-3, 1-2) lost a field goal affair 9-6 to the Illinois Fighting Illini (5-1, 2-1) after a third down Artur Sitkowski non-fumble returned by Riley Moss for a non-touchdown was reversed and Fabrizio Pinton nailed his third field goal with 2:49 remaining in the game. Spencer Petras threw an interception on Iowa’s two-minute drill after getting a couple completions to start it.
There was life on Illinois’ next drive as they couldn’t get a first down on three runs after a first down false start.
