The Illini are on the board for the first time in 2019 courtesy of Reggie Corbin’s three yard run in the first quarter.
Corbin is in his senior season with Illinois and is on track to be a major difference-maker all season long.
The running back rushed for 1,085 yards a season ago and ran for nine touchdowns. He has his first of 2019 on a drive in which he compiled 35 yards.
The Illini currently lead the Akron Zips 7-0 with just under 12 minutes to play in the first quarter.
