Illinois took down No. 7 Penn State on the road for the first big win of Bret Bielema's tenure. And the Illini made a phenomenal case for bringing ties back to college football in the process.
The Illini defeated Penn State in a nine-overtime — yes, NINE overtimes — stunner on Saturday. It took 60 minutes of regulation, two normal overtime periods, then seven exchanges of two-point conversion attempts for Illinois to notch the 20-18 win.
