Darius Mosely clinched the Illinois win against Rutgers with a fourth-quarter pick-six. Not bad for a guy who was playing a new position (nickel) after spending most of the season at cornerback. Staff writer Bob Asmussen sat down with Mosely earlier this week:
When did you realize you had a shot at the ball?
I was getting ready to trail my guy, and I saw Chunky (Clements) tip it in the air. I said, “OK, there’s nobody around. I’m going to get this ball.” I just broke. He was throwing to Jaylen Dunlap’s guy.
