The “one-hit wonders” of Illinois athletics

That Indiana week was one of the most impressive single-game performances by a quarterback in Illinois history, and it’s becoming apparent that John Paddock’s legacy as an Illini will be defined by that game.

That got me to thinking, which Illini exploded for one game, or series, but had a relatively pedestrian rest of their career?

2018 was not a great year for the Illini at 4-8, and the Week 8 Maryland game was no exception as it was a 63-33 loss.
