Illinois Football Suffers Huge Deficit, Injuries in First Half vs. Oregon

2024-10-27 10:15:03

No. 20 Illinois took quite a beating in the first half against Oregon on Saturday. The Ducks scored touchdowns on all but one of their first-half possessions while the Illini sputtered, producing a field goal – and almost nothing else. The 35-3 score is just the start of Illinois’ worries, though: a few Illini were dinged up in the process.

Elzy posed the best offensive hope the Illini had in the whole first half. He broke open downfield – as open as any Illini pass-catcher managed to be all half – but quarterback Luke Altmyer didn’t see him. Insult to injury: Elzy crumpled to the ground shortly after from what appeared to be a knee injury and was helped off the field.

This one seemed like a freak accident. Trying to avoid getting caught in a pileup, Patterson leapt over a mass of bodies and got his foot caught, then appeared to wrench his knee while trying to regain his balance.

Strain. What are the odds? Actually we have no idea what the diagnosis is, but Strain, after sprawling for a tackle just before the half, grabbed at his ankle as he lay on the turf and limped to the sidelines with assistance.

More information to come as it becomes available.
