2013 ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

foR oPEnERS• The Fighting Illini (2-0) look to continue their hot start

on Saturday when they head to the Windy City to host No. 19/23 Washington at Soldier Field for Chicago Homecoming (5 p.m. CT, BTN). A win would make Illinois 3-0 for only the second time in the last 12 seasons. The other was in 2011, when the Illini started the season 6-0.

• Saturday’s game against Washington will be Illinois’ first in the city of Chicago since the 48-27 victory over Northwestern at Wrigley Field on Nov. 20, 2010. It also will mark the Illini’s second-ever game at Soldier Field. The first was against Washington State on Sept. 1, 1994, a 10-9 victory for the Cougars.

• Following Saturday’s shellacking of Cincinnati, the Illini are receiving votes in both polls for the first time since Oct. 24, 2011. Illinois sits 34th in the AP poll (nine votes) and 39th in the coaches poll (three votes).

• The revamped Illinois offense, directed by new offensive coordinator bill cubit, has jumped at least 85 spots in the national rankings from last year to this year in passing offense, passing efficiency, scoring offense and total offense. The results so far have been astounding:

illinoiS’ offEnSiVE imPRoVEmEnt in 2013 category 2012 (final nat’l Rk) 2013 (current nat’l Rk) Difference Passing Offense (ypg) 138.83 (107) 363.50 (10) +97 Scoring Offense (ppg) 16.67 (119) 43.50 (27) +92 Passing Efficiency 113.42 (102) 180.90 (14) +88 Total Offense (ypg) 296.67 (119) 493.00 (34) +85

• Illinois tallied nine plays of 20-plus yards against Cincinnati and has 17 plays of 20-plus yards on the season, fifth-most in the nation. The Illini had 34 plays of 20-plus yards in the entire 2012 season, ranking 122nd nationally (out of 124). The Orange and Blue’s 13 passing plays of 20-plus yards is second-most nationally behind only Baylor.

• Senior QB nathan Scheelhaase looks to be saving his best season for last. A four-year starter, Scheelhaase has thrived in Cubit’s system, leading the Big Ten and ranking in the top 10 in the nation in both total offense (362.5 ypg) and passing yards per game (364.0) through week two.

• Scheelhaase has more passing touchdowns (six) in two games than 102 of the 123 FBS teams. He also has thrown for 728 yards, more than 116 of 123 FBS teams through week 2.

• Scheelhaase’s 728 yards are the most in Illinois’ first two games of a season since Jason Verduzco passed for 783 yards in the first two games of 1991. Scheelhaase also has six passing touchdowns, equaling the school record for most TD passes in the first two games of a season shared by Juice Williams (2008) and Kurt Kittner (2000).

• Senior LB and Butkus Award candiate Jonathan brown leads the Big Ten and ranks 14th nationally in tackles (11.5 tpg). Brown had 14 stops against Cincinnati, a B1G single-game high this season.

• The Illinois return game has improved in a big way. After ranking 107th nationally in kick returns (18.83 ypr) and 118th in punt returns (1.56 ypr) in 2012, the Illini already have a 100-yard kickoff return TD from sopho-more DB V’angelo bentley vs. SIU, the first UI kick return TD since 2008, and a 38-yard punt return from miles osei vs. Cincinnati, the longest by an Illini since 2004. Illinois currently ranks 17th nationally in kickoff returns (29.00 ypg) and 34th in punt returns (10.63 ypg).

2013 ILLINOIS FOOTBALL // GAME NOTES


illini-bEaRS connEctionSThe University of Illinois and Chicago Bears have a long-standing tradition dating back to the original Decatur Staleys, who were founded by University of Illinois alums George Halas and Dutch Sternaman. Some of the highlights are below:

• Orange & Blue: The Chicago Bears team colors have always been orange and blue, after those of the University of Illinois, the alma mater of founder George “Papa Bear” Halas.

• Dick butkus: The greatest linebacker in the history of the game. Butkus joined the Bears as a first-round draft pick in 1965 after an All-American career at Illinois. Butkus went on to earn All-Pro honors seven times and is a member of the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame. Jersey number 50 retired at Illinois, 51 retired by the Bears. Bears Hall of Fame member.

• Red grange: Illinois All-American was first major signing by Halas and the fledgling National Football League. Halas took Grange and the Bears on a coast-to-coast barnstorming tour in which the club played 16 games in nine weeks. The tour is generally credited with saving the professional game and putting the NFL on the national sports map. Grange is a charter member of the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame. Jersey number 77 retired at Illinois and by the Bears. Also coached for the Bears for eight seasons from 1933-40. Bears Hall of Fame member.

• george halas: Chicago Bears founder, player and long-time coach, earned a B.S. degree at Illinois in 1918 while lettering in football, basketball and baseball. A charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Bears Hall of Fame member, Halas selected orange and blue as the team’s colors as a nod to his alma mater. Halas passed away in Oct. 1983, and starting in 1984 the Bears added the initials GSH to the left sleeve of their jerseys in honor of the late “Papa Bear.” The Bears uniforms still don the initials to this day.

• 1985: The Chicago Bears spent a week in Champaign-Urbana practicing for Super Bowl XX. The Bears used the Memorial Stadium Bubble to prepare for the New England Patriots, whom the Bears defeated 46-10 in New Orleans.

• 1994: Illinois opened the 1994 season at Soldier Field with a 10-9 loss to Washington State on Sept. 1. Simeon Rice set an Illini single-game record with five quarterback sacks.

• 2002: The Chicago Bears played all of their home games (eight regular season and two exhibition games) at Memorial Stadium on the University Illinois campus during the 2002 season while Soldier Field was being renovat-ed. The Bears also played their two 2003 home preseason games at Memorial Stadium while the finishing touches were put on the Soldier Field renovation.

• memorial Stadium: The Chicago architecture firm of Holabird & Roche built Memorial Stadium, as well as Soldier Field, also named in honor of those killed in World War I.

WaShington SERiES notES• Washington leads the all-time series with the Illini by a 5-4 margin, but the teams haven’t met since 1972. The

two programs are 2-2 in games played in Champaign, while Washington holds a 3-1 margin in Seattle. The Illini notched a 17-7 win in the 1964 Rose Bowl. Illinois will travel to Seattle in the third week of 2014 for a Sept. 13 tilt at Husky Stadium.

• This year is the 50th anniversary of Illinois’ 1964 Rose Bowl victory over the Huskies, an Illini squad that was led by Chicago-born Illini legends Dick butkus and Jim grabowski. Washington took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter, but Illinois’ defense took over and the Illini managed touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters for the 17-7 final score. Grabowski earned MVP honors, finishing with 125 yards and a touchdown.

illinoiS againSt thE Pac-12• Illinois has won two of its last three meetings against Pac-12 teams: a 17-14 win over Arizona State on Sept.

17, 2011, and a 20-14 win over UCLA in the 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, prior to a 45-14 loss to ASU in Tempe in 2012. The 2011 victory over the Sun Devils was the Orange and Blue’s first win over a current Pac-12 team since Sept. 1, 2001, when they won at California, 44-17. Illinois is 4-6 in its last 10 meetings with Pac-12 foes.

• The Illini are 29-46 all-time against current Pac-12 teams and 15-23 in games against Pac-12 opponents in the state of Illinois. The Orange and Blue have faced nine Pac-12 teams in the last 13 years, dating back to 2000. That’s the most of any other conference, narrowly surpassing Illinois’ eight meetings with Mid-American Conference foes over that span.

• Illinois head coach Tim Beckman is 1-2 against Pac-12 teams, beating Colorado in 2009 (when they were in the Big 12), losing to Arizona in 2010 and Arizona State in 2012.

illinoiS VS. RanKED oPPonEntS• Illinois faces its first top-25 opponent of the season on Saturday as Washington is ranked No. 19 in this week’s

Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

• Four future opponents are ranked in this week’s poll – No. 4 Ohio State, No. 17 Northwestern, No. 20 Wisconsin and No. 23 Nebraska.

• The Illini have lost five straight and 14 of their last 15 against ranked foes since beating No. 1 Ohio State 28-21 on Nov. 10, 2007. The lone win during that span came on Sept. 17, 2011, over No. 22/18 Arizona State, 17-14, at Memorial Stadium.

• Last season, Illinois faced just two opponents ranked in the AP poll at the time of the game, falling to No. 25 Michigan, 45-0, and No. 6 Ohio State, 52-22.

• Illinois coach Tim Beckman is 0-6 against ranked opponents in his four-plus years as a head coach.

linEbacKER U, it’S not WhERE YoU thinK it iS• Like many Illini teams over the years, the 2013 Illini defense is led by its linebacking corps. This year, senior

Jonathan brown, a 2012 Butkus Award semifinalist, and sophomore mason monheim, a 2012 Freshman All-American key the attack. Brown has piled up 190 tackles, 30 TFLs and 9.0 sacks over the last two-plus seasons, while Monheim became the first true-freshman ever to lead the Illini in tackles and led all Big Ten freshmen with 86 stops last season. Not surprisingly, the duo is leading the team in tackles so far this season as Brown has a Big Ten-best 23 stops, while Monheim is second on the team and third in the Big Ten with 18.

• Illinois’ history at the linebacker position is up there with any program in the nation. It begins with football legend Ray nitschke, who donned the Orange and Blue from 1955-57, and the greatest linebacker in football history, Dick butkus, who was a two-time All-American and led the Fighting Illini to a 1964 Rose Bowl win over Washington. The Orange and Blue boast two Butkus Award winners, Dana howard in 1994 and Kevin hardy in 1995, and several first-team All-Americans like Darrick brownlow (1990), Simeon Rice (1994 & ‘95) and J leman (2007), in addi-tion to Butkus, Howard and Hardy and recent NFL Draft picks like Danny clark, martez Wilson and nate bussey.

WhoSE hoUSE? SchEEl-hoUSE• Senior quarterback nathan Scheelhaase threw for a career-high 416 yards in the season-opener, the 10th-best

single-game passing performance in school history the fifth-most ever by an Illinois quarterback at Memorial Stadium.

• Scheelhaase followed that up with 312 yards and tied his career-high with four TD passes against Cincinnati, marking the first time he has passed for 300 yards in back-to-back games in his career. The last Illinois quar-terback to have consecutive 300-yard passing games was Juice Williams at Michigan (310, 10/4/2008) and vs. Minnesota (462, 10/11/2008).

• Scheelhaase already has surpassed his 2012 season totals for touchdown passes, 30-plus-yard pass plays and 50+ pass plays. Take a look at his two-game 2013 numbers versus his 10-game 2012 numbers below:

SchEElhaaSE PaSSing 2012 vs. 2013 Year g comp. att. Yds. Pct. tD int. YPg 30+plays 50+plays Pass Eff. 2012 10 149 246 1361 60.6 4 8 136.1 4 1 105.90 2013 2 54 73 728 74.0 6 1 364.0 6 3 182.10

• Scheelhaase jumped two spots into fifth place on the Illinois career list with 40 career touchdowns, passing Tony Eason (38) and Jon Beutjer (39). He also holds the No. 4 spot in career total offense at Illinois with 7,816 yards, is fourth in career passing efficiency (129.3), sixth in passing yardage (6,024), sixth in completions (542), seventh in attempts (878) and 18th in rushing yardage (1,792) – second among quarterbacks – at Illinois.

• Scheelhasse racked up 340 of his 416 passing yards in the first half against Southern Illinois, marking the most ever for an Illini in the first half and the most in any half since Juice Williams totaled 347 passing yards in the second half against Minnesota on Oct. 11, 2008. Scheelhaase earned week one Big Ten Player of the Week honors after his performance against the Salukis.

• After starting the first two games this season, Scheelhaase now has 38 career starts under his belt, tied for the third-most in the nation by a quarterback behind only Georgia’s Aaron Murray (43) and Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez (41).

• Scheelhaase has flashed the big-play ability in 2013 that Illini fans saw from him early in his career, posting 13 plays of 20-plus yards in the first two games. Scheelhaase had only 18 such “big plays” in 2012, when he missed two games and was limited in many others because of injuries, but he posted 29 big plays in 2011 and 33 in 2010.

• Scheelhaase is one of only seven active quarterbacks in the nation with three or more games where he posted at least three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. Clemson’s Tahj Boyd leads the list with eight, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel has seven and Louisiana-Monroe’s Kolton Browning has four. Scheelhaase is tied for fourth on the list with Cody Fajardo (Nevada), Brett Smith (Wyoming) and Connor Shaw (South Carolina).

• Scheelhaase started his fourth consecutive season-opener this season, making him one of only seven current quarterbacks in the nation to start four straight openers. Scheelhaase joins Kolton Browning (Louisiana-Monroe), Logan Kilgore (Middle Tennessee), Taylor Martinez (Nebraska), Taylor McHargue (Rice), Aaron Murray (Georgia) and Corey Robinson (Troy) in the select club.

DiD YoU KnoW? • Chicago Bears founder George Halas chose

orange and blue for the team’s colors in honor of alma mater, the University of illinois.

• Nathan Scheelhaase has more passing yards (728) than 116 of 123 fbS teams and more passing tDs (6) than 102 of the 123 fbS teams through two weeks.



• Scheelhaase led Illinois to bowl victories in each his first two seasons (2010 Texas Bowl and 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl), making him one of only two QBs in Big Ten history to start and lead their teams to bowl wins during both his freshman and sophomore seasons (Brooks Bollinger, Wisconsin). After missing a bowl in 2012, Scheelhaase is looking to end his UI career with a third bowl win, something no Illini QB has done previously.

coREY lEWiS: thE comEbacK KiDSenior OT corey lewis is one the feel-good stories in college football. After missing more than two-and-half years (34 games) recovering from three ACL tears and five different knee surgeries, Lewis saw his first game action in over 1,000 days at Ohio State on Nov. 3, 2012, and played in the season’s final four games. With a bachelor’s degree in communication already in hand and a sixth year of NCAA eligibility granted, Lewis made his first career start in the 2013 season-opener against Southern Illinois, more than five years after first setting foot on campus, and also started against Cincinnati.

* Illinois’ 2013 opponents in bold.



offEnSiVE notES• In the third quarter against Cincinnati, Illinois matched its longest drive in school history, covering 99 yards on

12 plays over 5:07. It marked the fifth time since 1971 the Illini have recorded a 99-yard drive, and the first since Oct. 21, 2009, against Michigan. The Illini also had a 94-yard TD drive (seven plays in 1:15) and an 88-yard TD drive (7 plays in 3:16) in the season opener against SIU.

• The Illini scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to seal the win over Cincinnati on Sept. 7, the highest-scoring fourth quarter of the Tim Beckman era. It also marked Illinois’ highest-scoring final period since the Orange and Blue posted 21 points to grab a 38-35 win over Northwestern on Oct. 1, 2011.

• Illinois has shown a great ability to sustain drives early in the season. Through two games, the Illini have four drives of 10-plus plays, all of which ended with scores and resulted in a total of 20 points. Last year, Illinois managed only 11 scoring drives of 10 or more plays.

• The Illini racked up 522 yards of total offense against the Bearcats, marking the first time they surpassed 500 yards in a game since Oct. 8, 2011, at Indiana. They notched 210 yards on the ground, marking their first time over 200 rushing yards since Sept. 8, 2012, at Arizona State.

• With 42 points against SIU and 45 against Cincinnati to open the season, Illinois registered 40-plus points in back-to-back games for the first time since 2010 when they topped Purdue 44-10 on Oct. 30 and fell to Michigan 67-65 on Nov. 6.

• The Illini had six scrimmage plays go for 30+ yards against the Salukis, equaling the team’s total for the entire 2012 season in one game. Only Oregon (7) had more plays of 30+ yards in week one. The Illini added one more 30-plus play from scrimmage against Cincinnati and now rank 14th nationally with seven.

• Illinois’ offense has been amazingly balanced, as 11 different players caught a pass, seven players recorded a carry and six players scored a touchdown against Cincinnati. The 11 players with at least one reception against Cincinnati equals the most since 11 players caught at least one pass against Purdue on Oct. 30, 2010. The Illini are one of three teams in the nation to have four receivers with 100-plus yards on the season, along with Louisville and California.

• Sophomore running back Josh ferguson posted his first career 100-yard receiving game with 103 yards on four catches against SIU, highlighted by a career-long 53-yard touchdown reception, the first TD catch of his career. He had three “big plays” against the Salukis with a 53-yard touchdown reception on a screen pass, a 26-yard reception and a 34-yard run. He followed that up with a 48-yard TD reception against Cincinnati in week two. In 2012, Ferguson led all Big Ten freshmen in all-purpose yards per game (90.7).

• Senior wide receiver Ryan lankford notched a career-high 115 receiving yards in the season opener, marking his second career 100-yard receiving game. Against Cincinnati, Lankford did his damage on the ground, rushing for 46 yards on three carries, including a darting 29-yard TD run, the first of his career, on an end-around.

• Freshman quarterback aaron bailey barreled into the end zone from two yards out in the third quarter against Southern Illinois for his first career touchdown. He also converted a first down with a four-yard carry on third-and-one on the final play of the first quarter, his first play as an Illini. Through two games, Bailey has five touches that have resulted in three first downs and one touchdown.

• Senior Steve hull played wide receiver for the first time in his career in the season opener against SIU, hauling in two catches for 64 yards. He then had three catches for 53 yards, including a 22-yard TD reception, the first of his career, against the Bearcats. Hull spent his redshirt season as a receiver before switching to safety prior to the 2010 season and making 15 starts there from 2010-2012.

• The starters on the Illini offensive line are massive, as all five are listed at at least 300 pounds and have an average weight of 309 pounds (Cvijanovic - 310, Heitz - 305, Hill - 315, Karras - 300, Lewis - 315).

• The line didn’t allow a sack against Cincinnati, marking the first time in 13 games that an Illini opponent didn’t record one. The last time UI protected that well was against Western Michigan on Sept. 1, 2012.

• Last year’s leading rusher Donovonn Young struggled in the opener with just six yards on eight carries, but bounced back with a team-high 64 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries (4.6 ypc) against Cincinnati. In 2012, Young led a balanced ground attack with 571 yards on 121 carries (4.4 ypc), including three touchdowns, and led the team with 38 receptions for 172 yards and another TD in 2012. The junior from Texas has 1,092 yards career rushing yards.

• Junior tight end Jon Davis had an acrobatic 11-yard touchdown recpetion just before the half against SIU, finish-ing with a leap and reach for the plylon for the score, and also had a 15-yard rush in the second half. Davis was Mr. Versatility in 2012, lining up at tight end, receiver and running back throughout the season.

• Senior tight end Evan Wilson caught his sixth career touchdown on a 23-yard reception from Scheelhaase in the Cincinnati game. It marked his first TD since Oct. 15, 2011, against Ohio State.

• Junior wide receiver martize barr earned his first career touchdown reception, a 26-yard over-the-shoulder grab in the the fourth quarter, and led the Illini in receiving with five catches for 72 yards against the Bearcats. Barr also added a 24-yard rush on an end-around against Cincinnati.

DEfEnSiVE notES• The Orange and Blue held the Cincinnati offense under 20 points for only the second time in the past 18 games,

dating back to Nov. 26, 2011. The only other team to achieve the feat was Rutgers in a 10-3 Scarlet Knight victory on Nov. 17, 2012.

• Illinois snuffed out two fourth-down attempts by Cincinnati, meaning the Illini have held opponents 0-for-3 on fourth down this year. UI is one of 25 teams in FBS yet to allow a fourth-down conversion and one of only eight to stay perfect in three or more attempts.

• The defense returned only four starters from 2012: DE tim Kynard, LB Jonathan brown, LB mason monheim and safety Earnest thomas iii.

• The entire defensive three-deep includes only two seniors (LB Jonathan brown and DL tim Kynard). In fact, the three-deep lists only nine players with junior or senior eligibility, the same as the number of true-freshmen listed. And two of those upperclassmen are junior college transfers who had never played a down of Division I football until last week (DL abe cajuste and DB Zane Petty).

• Senior tim Kynard forced his first career fumble against SIU, while junior houston bates jumped on it for his third career fumble recovery.

• As expected, senior LB Jonathan brown is leading the Fighting Illini and the Big Ten with 23 tackles, a total that ranks 14th nationally through week two. Over the last two years, Brown has put up monster numbers when healthy. He was leading the Illini with 59 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in 2012 before having his season cut short by a shoulder injury. That followed a breakout 2011 season, when he earned All-Big Ten honors with 108 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. He ranked sixth in the nation in TFLs per game (1.63) and led the Big Ten in TFLs per game during conference play (2.07). Brown is a member of preseason watch lists for the Butkus Award, Bednarik Award and Nagurski Trophy.

• Sophomore LB mason monheim has 18 tackles, 2.5 TFLs and a sack in 2013, a solid start after a stellar freshman season that saw him earn second-team freshman All-America honors by Phil Steele. Monheim started the final 10 games of the season and led all Big Ten freshmen with 86 tackles. Monheim ranked 15th in the conference in tackles per game (7.2), while no other B1G freshman was in the top 50. He was the first Illini true-freshman ever to lead the team in tackles.

• Senior safety Earnest thomas iii ranks third on the team with 16 tackles in 2013 after a breakout 2012 where he was fourth on the team with 69 tackles and ranked fourth in the Big Ten with three forced fumbles. He is one of only two upperclassmen in the secondary listed on the depth chart, and the only other junior is Zane Petty, a junior college transfer in his first season of Division I football.

• Redshirt-freshman safety taylor barton notched his first career interception in the Cincinnati game in his second career start. He also added seven tackles in the Illini victory.

thE SPEcial tEamS• V’angelo bentley’s 100-yard kickoff return for touchdown against Southern Illinois was the longest by a single

player in school history and equaled the longest touchdown in Illinois history. It matched the record set by Travis Williams and Eugene Wilson, who combined for 100 yards on a lateral play, against Purdue on Oct. 12, 2002. It also marked Illinois’ first kick return TD since A.J. Jenkins (96 yards) against Indiana on Oct. 18, 2008.

• Senior WR miles osei recorded a career-best 38-yard punt return in the fourth quarter against Cincinnati, marking the Illini’s longest punt return since 2004. He also now has 55 punt return yards on the season, marking Illinois’ most since Arrelious Benn had 114 punt return yards in 2008.

• Illinois has streaks of 51 games and 144 attempts without missing a PAT. The last time the Fighting Illini did not convert a PAT kick was on Sept. 5, 2009, against Missouri.

• Junior punter Justin DuVernois, a 2013 Ray Guy Award candidate, is averaging 40.3 yards per kick thus far in 2013. In 2012, DuVernois averaged 41.9 yards per punt, fourth-best in the conference and 3.6 yards per kick better than 2011. As a team, Illinois led the Big Ten and ranked 23rd nationally in net punting in 2012, averaging 39.2 yards per kick.

• Sophomore kicker taylor Zalewski has started off 2013 by hitting 3-of-4 field goals and 10-of-10 extra points. In 2012, he nailed a 54-yard field goal against Purdue, the third-longest field goal in school history and the longest in the Big Ten in 2012. Zalewski also handles kickoff duties, booting 10 touchbacks in 16 kickoffs this season and averaging 64.8 yards per kickoff as 15 of his 16 kickoffs have reached the end zone.

• Senior tim Russell converted his third career two-point conversion (second passing) with a toss to TE Matt LaCosse in the second quarter against SIU. His other two conversions came at Ohio State in 2012 (one rush, one pass).

• In 2012, V’angelo bentley blocked a goal attempt against Penn State, marking the first blocked FG for an Illini since Derek Walker at Michigan on Oct. 4, 2008, and the first blocked kick of any kind for an Illini since Clay Nurse swatted away a PAT at Fresno State on Dec. 3, 2010.

• With the loss of three-year long-snapper Zak Pedersen to graduation at the end of 2012, the Illini turned to red-shirt-freshman Zach hirth for long-snapping duties this season. Hirth was ranked the No. 2 long-snapper in the nation by ESPNU coming out of high school. He handled his duties in the opener against SIU without any issues.

tEam notES• The Aug. 31 win over Southern Illinois was the Illini’s 16th consecutive home-opening victory, the fourth-longest

streak in the Big Ten behind Ohio State (35), Nebraska (28) and Wisconsin (18). Illinois is 86-33-5 all-time in home-openers.

• The Illini are 13-0 all-time against FCS opponents (formerly I-AA). All but two of those wins have been by at least 21 points. Four of UI’s 13 FCS wins have come against Southern Illinois, including the only two that were close games, a 28-25 win over the Salukies in 1985 and this year’s 42-34 season-opening victory.

gamE notES• With today’s win, the Illini have won 16 consecutive home openers, including

the first two season openers under head coach Tim Beckman. Illinois is now 4-0 all-time against SIU, 13-0 all-time against FCS teams and 14-0 against the other public universities in the state.

• Illinois scored its first two touchdowns of the season in the span of 29 seconds in the second quarter (Josh Ferguson 53-yard TD reception, forced fumble and Donovonn Young 2-yard rushing TD).

• Illinois had two 100-yard receivers (Lankford – 115, Ferguson – 103) for the first time since A.J. Jenkins (148) and Darius Millines (119) against Arkansas State on Sept. 3, 2011.

• Nathan Scheelhaase turned in a career-high 416 passing yards, which ranks as the 10th-best single-game total in school history and surpasses his previ-ous personal best of 391 yards. His 416 yards also rank as the fifth-most ever by an Illinois quarterback at Memorial Stadium and the first 400-yard game since Juice Williams broke the Memorial Stadium record with 462 passing yards against Minnesota on Oct. 11, 2008.

• Sophomore V’Angelo Bentley notched the longest kickoff return by a single player in school history and equaled the longest touchdown in Illinois history with his 100-yard kickoff return, matching the record set by Travis Williams and Eugene Wilson, who combined for 100 yards on a lateral play, against Purdue on Oct. 12, 2002. It also marked Illinois’ first kick return TD since A.J. Jenkins (96 yards) against Indiana on Oct. 18, 2008.

Tim Beckman is now in his second season leading the University of Illinois football program. He was named the 23rd Fighting Illini head football coach by director of athletics Mike Thomas on Dec. 9, 2011.

Beckman’s first Fighting lllini team produced four 2013 NFL Draft picks – OL Hugh Thornton (third round, Colts), DT Akeem Spence (fourth round, Buccaneers), DB Terry Hawthorne (fifth round, Steelers) and DE Michael Buchanan (seventh round, Patriots) – the most by any Big Ten team.

The Illini also have excelled in the classroom under Beckman’s leadership. Sixteen players earned their degrees in 2013, after 15 did so in 2012. And a record number of football student-athletes posted at least a 3.0 grade-point-average in three consecutive semesters: 39 in spring 2012, 42 in fall 2012 and 51 in spring 2013. The Illini also have been active in the community, hosting free weekly youth clinics during the season and making regular visits to local schools and hospitals throughout the year.

Prior to Illinois, Beckman spent three years as head coach at Toledo, where he led the Rockets to two bowl appearances and a Mid-American Conference West Division co-championship.

Beckman engineered an impressive turnaround at Toledo in his three years at the helm after inheriting a team that went 3-9 in 2008. The Rockets improved to 5-7 in 2009 before going 8-5 with a 7-1 record in the MAC and a berth in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in 2010. Toledo posted an 8-4 record in 2011, includ-ing another 7-1 MAC record, a share of the MAC West Division title and a berth in the Military Bowl. In the last two seasons, Beckman compiled a 14-2 record in MAC games, second best in the conference over that span.

He has learned under some of the finest coaches in America, including Pat Dye, Urban Meyer, Mike Gundy and Jim Tressel. When he guided the Rockets to an 8-4 regular-season record and a bowl appearance in 2010, it was UT’s first bowl since 2005. In addition, his last two recruiting classes at Toledo have been widely praised, earning a No. 1 ranking among MAC teams by Rivals.com in both seasons after landing two of the three four-star prospects signed by confer-ence schools.

Beckman sent a pair of Toledo players to the NFL in defensive back Barry Church and receiver Stephen Williams in 2010. Three players earned first-team All-MAC honors in 2011, including Eric Page, who

earned first-team honors as a receiver, kick returner and punt returner.

Before accepting Toledo’s head coaching position, Beckman had 21 years of experience as an assistant coach. He served as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State (2007-08), the cornerbacks coach at Ohio State (2005-06), the defensive coordinator/assistant head coach at Bowling Green (1998-2004), the defensive coordinator at Elon (1996-97), the secondary coach/recruiting coordinator at Western Carolina (1990-95) and a graduate assistant at Auburn (1988-89).

Beckman’s two seasons as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State were successful, as the Cowboys posted a 16-10 record, including a 9-4 mark in 2008 and an appearance in the Holiday Bowl. In 2007, the Cowboys went 7-6, including a win over Indiana in the Insight Bowl.

At Ohio State, Beckman mentored the Buckeye cor-nerbacks. During his stay at Ohio State, the Buckeyes were 22-3 and played in two BCS bowl games. Along

the way, he coached six All-Big Ten defensive backs and five future NFL players. His final game as a coach with Ohio State was the 2007 BCS National Championship Game against Florida, where Beckman faced his former boss from his days at Bowling Green, Urban Meyer.

At Bowling Green, Beckman was a three-time nominee for the Frank Broyles Award, presented annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. He was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2001, and College Football News named him one of the country’s top defensive coordi-nators. During his stay at Bowling Green, the Falcons won two bowl games, a MAC East division title and finished ranked in the national polls in 2003.

Beckman began his coaching career in 1988 as a graduate assistant at Auburn, where he earned his master’s degree in education. His first full-time coaching job came at Western Carolina, where he coached the secondary and served as recruiting coordinator from 1990-95. Beckman then served as the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator

at Elon College from 1996-97 before moving on to Bowling Green.

Beckman started his collegiate playing career at Kentucky but transferred to Findlay and excelled under Hall of Fame head coach Dick Strahm. A 1988 graduate of Findlay, Beckman majored in physical education and lettered in 1984 and 1985 on Oiler teams that qualified for the NAIA playoffs both seasons. Prior to that, he attended Forest Park High School in Beaumont, Texas, for two years before completing high school at Berea (Ohio) High School near Cleveland.

The son of longtime college and NFL coach Dave Beckman, Tim is a native of Berea, Ohio. He and his wife, Kim, also a Findlay graduate, have three children: Tyler, Lindsay and Alex. Tyler is a senior linebacker at the University of Findlay, while Lindsay is a junior at Oklahoma State. Alex is a sophomore quarterback at Urbana High School.
