CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — After tons of speculation entering Saturday on Tommy DeVito’s status, the Illini QB showed no signs of rust on the first drive of the day.

After a QB sneak on fourth down gave the Illini a first down in Gopher territory, DeVito found Chase Brown (who else?) on a 40-yard wheel route touchdown that fooled the Gophers big time.

It’s Brown’s second receiving touchdown of the year and fifth touchdown overall, and it gave the Illini an early 7-0 lead with 10:56 left in the first quarter.
