What Happened The Last Time These Teams Played?

Nov. 6, 2021: Illinois 14, Minnesota 6

MINNEAPOLIS — There’s something about this Bret Bielema squad and ranked teams on the road.

After knocking off No. 7 Penn State in historic fashion two weeks ago, the Illini traveled to No. 20 Minnesota on Saturday and knocked off the Golden Gophers, 14-6.

Offensively, the Illini’s recipe for success was the ground game. Chase Brown led the way for the rushing attack, notching 147 yards on 32 carries and sparked a dominant opening half. The Illini couldn’t get much going in the second half, but luckily didn’t need to after mounting a lead early.
