Paddock relieved the injured Luke Altmyer and went 3 for 3 for 85 yards to lift Illinois from a huge hole and deliver the go-ahead 46-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams with 50 seconds left for a 27-26 victory over stunned Minnesota on Saturday.
A Illinois Fighting Illini helmet sits on the sidelines during a Big Ten Conference college football game.John Paddock has been so happy at Illinois that being a backup hasn’t bothered the sixth-year graduate transfer from Ball State.The Illini last left the field in frustration after their homecoming collapse against Wisconsin on Oct. 21, when the Badgers scored 18 straight points in the fourth quarter for a 25-21 win.
Facing fourth-and-11 from their 15-yard line with 1:24 left after the clock stoppage for the injury, Paddock came in cold with the drive of his life that knocked the Gophers out of their tie for first place in the diluted Big Ten West Division. Iowa took sole possession of the lead with the losses on Saturday by Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Athan Kaliakmanis threw a career-high three touchdown passes for Minnesota, including the go-ahead 31-yard scoring strike to Daniel Jackson with 5:53 left, two plays after Williams coughed up the ball. But the Illini, who forced five punts and gave up just 69 total yards in the second half, weren’t done.
"I bring a lot of energy to the team," Newton said. "I feel like from there it just changed the rest of the game."Illinois: With resiliency a team-wide trait, plus a consistency and potency of their passing attack that stands out in the Big Ten West, the Illini are set up for a strong November with the division title still within reach with the right combination of losses by their competition. They would help themselves a lot by reversing their turnover trend.
