2003 Iowa vs. Illinois

that's Mike Gleeson this is the 64th meeting and the first in three years between Illinois and Iowa the backs and receivers Russell is proof positive things come in small packages he goes about five nine about to become the third running back at school history to put together multiple thousand yard rushing seasons right tackle Robert gallery everybody's all-american is likely to be a top ten draft pick and next spring's NFL Draft second down for the Iowa Hawkeyes there's big Robert Gallery is John Cooper said a moment ago they find him and follow him Chandler the other way Calvin Davis got a good block from Gallery on the flank and he's got a three receivers sent brown in the slot bottom of your screen we're looking at white how scrambler let's go pounds on the nearside it's a first down go to going shadow war generous stumble for a moment to the song to the end zone for the touchdown tawny Shearson nice play by Nathan Chandler looked as though they had to play pretty well defense but Chandler had the patience and wonderful touch on this ball to get it over the linebackers and down into Jackson's hands before he went out of bounds great throw by Nathan Channel extra point from Nate Kaeding he's got it through the uprights 77 yard March 18 plays 9 minutes in 6 seconds time of possession a stumbling start in this play but a beautiful finish is a fact line up again so second down a little bit less than nine yards look what's coming this dream the 48-yard line mark I offense and the move at the Iowa 48 first to Fred Russell judith team at the 11 yard line Iowa's converted on third and 22 and third and 17 in the first quarter they're facing third down and 14 here watch the top ticking himself jingled out-of-bounds short of the first down of the 5-yard line and this will be about a 23-yard it officially 22 snaps replacement by Bradley the hunter the pinky Stewart bunny the Iowa defense a plethora but just been send the interior the defensive line with Derek Fossen Jonathan Babineaux law in knife our and Robinson will have to step up in the linebacking court Greenway in a duel Hodge or Iowa's October they lead the big 10 in time a two-time All Big Ten selection missed three games earlier this year is just now getting back into his rhythm I think it causes this bull right there's the hint by Antoine Allen you see the ball come out right on top of it all the black jerseys over there just a nice job of course of that ball loose there by Atwater they could ill afford that mistake snapper in these situations and Cody Ausmus with this snap here off the mark David Bradley just couldn't get breaking it down it was behind him but yet a catchable ball right there nice job by that Illini defense responding sudden change they come on they force I went right for the field goal now they come up with maybe the break they need so they run today first down are close to it short of the first down is Jamel louis-charles Gilstrap makes the stop Jamel Lewis sub springing ACL surgery during spring ball and he is back earlier than anybody they could ever recall coming back from that injury of it's usually an injury Randy it takes about a year to get back they good year to get to be honored for sins and he also suffered a hamstring injury earlier this year which even further delayed him but you're right Wayne he has come back quickly from that ACL third down and one Jensen the man in motion they're going to survive the 35 first and 10 from the 37 play-action Chandler stepping up the big play in the passing game that Iowa has missed with the injuries to mope rounded head hiko they get it right here Polk Brown does a nice job watch how he runs away he doesn't keep running towards the goal line he breaks head feathers off but it goes down for just an outstanding catch a lot of emotion on that play from the Iowa sidelines and in the stands for that receiver it sounded to be an all-american caliber receiver before injuries took him down earlier this year blitz coming again Chandler under some pressure from Winston and he's got first second and goal to go Russell your wife that's about as good as a pullback and do it he had to not only get his block but he had to sustain it and Fred Russell pitches the corner of the endzone camping an 11-play 80 yard I have a drive is one thing to make contact and get the block but to sustain it in the open field here like Cervantes does gives Russell the angle and the speed to the outside there that he has you're not going to catch him and that was just a great job by Edgar Cervantes at the open field blocking the Iowa Hawkeyes extend their advantage with just second quarter it's 17 and nothing hot guys on Fred Russell in their own territory dusted ward he did not feel he couldn't have the pressure coming from the nearside Matt Roth makes the sack right there pump bake he's not open he tries to come to your secondary receiver you don't have enough time to do that first didn't in near the midfield marker Ben Davis into Illinois Territory outbound to the 24 yard line well I'll tell you what when you're a tackle like Robert Gallery and you get a chance to block a defensive back you really take advantage of it he comes out and watch him just Louisville pallet ball making his second field goal of the day is he had three attempts one of them the mishandled snap bad snap and the Illini were able to recover it or the effort big smile on the face of Robert gallery trying to break the shut up John Gottman 43-yard field goal attempt JJ Tubbs to hold and a stay in there second time he's done that first and ten for the hot guys new with 26 yard line Russell to the outside little over six minutes to go in the third it's sandurz for the touchdown that's a couple of times in this third quarter the Matt Roth has gotten to the quarterback at this time he forces the turnover in Bob Sanders collects on Nate Kaeding for the point after Bob Sanders recovery of the van trough forced fumble in Iowa now leads by 27 watch it again ward never saw what was coming and that was rock from the backside of Sanders to the endzone take a look right there he's gonna try this Babcock right there he's gonna try and block Roth as he comes in but then the pressure comes from the outside and his fat cop comes off to pick up the outside pressure he lets Rolfe go and that's the last thing you can do always take the most imminent threat to your quarterback that's the closest guy when you let Ron go he comes through closes the sack as long as he can start tailor winding up and going me penalty marker down probably for pass interference but the Kitsch mean nonetheless by Kelvin Davis 45 yards when it starts with protection edgar cervantes the full-back does a great job of providing protection for Chandler that allows Davis to get down field and open and the chanter fills a beautiful ball a lot of air underneath it and lets davis run underneath it too then you see the facemask will be tacked on at the end of the play to friend Russell on first number five Russell 14-yard touchdown burst and he's over a thousand yards for the season bred Russell only the third pack in Haleiwa history the rest for a thousand yards more than once in his career more than one season in his career datings extra point and the 14th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes have a 34 nothing lead over the Fighting Illini of Illinois with just under three minutes to go in the third take a look at the play here looks as a Russell has a chance to cut it back right there he chooses not to it comes through puts the stiff arm there on Allen ball and just does get into the end zone there that left foot back around the 30-yard line looked as though it was awfully close to the sideline line judge was right on it though it Awards the touchdown for Fred Russell historic run by Russell and he is in this kind of company without that Cedric saw third and six no chance to make the first down Greenway was there when that pants came to his back hip Randy he had no chance from then on to make it first down Iowa flies to the ball so well and one thing you don't see when you watch Iowa play defense you don't see a lot of missed ackles here they are 34 to nothing and they're flying around Carrie Davis cut that ball over on the sideline when that whistle blew 8 9 black jerseys right over to the ball he's gonna get some experience here the second half of the season season going deep Hazen throw over the middle wide open point Bell touchdown Illinois 24 yard field goal attempt here get something out of this Drive for Illinois good so John Gottman puts it through the uprights with his first meal bottle today and it's thirty four to ten Iowa Drew Tate is in a quarterback for the Iowa Hawkeyes side Ronen Jamel Lewis showing you that he's back from that ACL surgery so they're not having much of a problem so far with at the end Louis Candy's got a first down to the 39 yard line of Illinois 16 yard gain Travis Williams on the stop young man you come back from an ACL as quick as he did that's a lot of work and dedication over the course of the summer had met a whole lot of fun third down but show other man in motion let's coming the corner dock people to escape not enough for the first down drew tape was being pressed from the pack side and he felt it Winston Tanner had him running for his life chasing him was complete but an excellent play by tape to accelerate away from Taylor fourth-down all kinds going for it just over four and a half minutes to go the game out of the shotgun teeth in the rushes on and take it inside 25 stays in play and is wrestled down just short of the 15 yard line when you have good protection to throw the ball it just enables your quarterback to do so many things your receivers could get downfield you can see where the lanes open up man-to-man defense here so nobody's got the quarterback in Tate as he steps up he's got a huge hole to go through on the left side of the line and one thing you learn as a veteran don't take these hits whether they had me tape who keeps coming then he lowers his shoulder pick up a few more yards but the exuberance of youth Randy I mean you don't want to quell that too much now drew Tate high school four-time first team all-conference and as we mentioned he came out of Texas so you know that's great I scored it good you spent some time down there sure if this is a busted player now for the second week in Rome Matt Molloy is in the end zone celebrating 13 yard touchdown pass from true tape first TD pass at his career where you could see what Tait brings to this offense that mobility buy some time scramble around he just had the big run defenses thinking running in but yet he throws a nice ball put some nice touch on this ball - good catch there by Matt Molloy and a pretty impressive drive by a freshman teacher was true freshman ting puts the finishing touch on it with the extra point eighth place 73 yards take Kemp sit right here - Malloy celebration is on in Iowa City Herefords the very open-minded to want to create something that covers the quarterback spot the outside and down the sidelines walk guys going deep into their bench coming away with Sam Brownlee a running back gets an opportunity here you can get that by a week late in your sees that you really get a chance to get some of those injured players and healthy huge advantage brownlee really hard his time winds down to this one of that should do it the Iowa Hawkeye scoring impressive 41 210 victory over the Fighting Illini of Illinois and with that win now the Iowa Hawkeyes improved a seven into their three and two in Big Ten play as they head down the stretch with a shot at the Big Ten title but again a final a forty one to ten Randy right Wayne Larrivee saying so long for pep Owens on our sidelines today we sent it back to the studio and Mike Gleason
