September 6, 2008
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -Juice Williams ran for a school-record 174 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 24 Illinois to its first win of the season, 47-21 Saturday over Eastern Illinois.
Williams broke the Illinois quarterback record of 145 yards he set in 2006, and threw for 124 yards and a touchdown. But the junior also threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball a yard short of a third-quarter touchdown.
The Illini (1-1) led 13-7 late in the second quarter. Williams scored twice late in the half to give Illinois a 26-7 halftime lead.
Travorus Bess rushed for 183 yards for Eastern Illinois (0-2) of the Championship Subdivision.
