Last Week: “Sheriff Brown wrangle up the ‘Boys.”

The Fighting Illini opened the season with a statement win against the Wyoming Cowboys. Tommy DeVito had a stellar debut, throwing a touchdown on his first throw in Champaign.

The real star of the contest was undoubtedly Illini running back Chase Brown. Brown ran all over the Cowboys, rushing for 151 yards and thrice finding paydirt.
