  10/19/19 - CB Tony AdamsrSr/2022, Illinois

  The plan was for Wisconsin to roll into a showdown with Ohio State next week unbeaten, with a defense putting up historic numbers and a Heisman Trophy contender at running back. Illinois had other plans. James McCourt kicked a 39-yard field as time expired and the Illini pulled off the biggest upset of the college football season, knocking off No. 6 Wisconsin 24-23 on Saturday. "Our program, we needed to get a signature win. I was just hoping today was the day, and the day came," said Smith, the former Chicago Bears coach who entered the game 11-31 overall and 4-26 in the Big Ten since taking over Illinois in 2016.

"Against the No. 6 team in the country, we played them toe-to-toe," Smith said. "We saw so much fight. We learned an awful lot about ourselves. We're pumped up. One of the best wins we can possibly have at this stage in our program." Tony Adams picked off a pass by Jack Coan for the Illini (3-4, 1/3 Big Ten), who were 30 1/2-point underdogs, at midfield with 2:33 remaining that set up the winning drive. Dre Brown's tackle-breaking 13-yard run got Illinois to the Wisconsin 25 with 34 seconds left and then the Illini set up McCourt to attempt a winner. The junior kicker was down the middle with the field goal to give Smith the most significant victory for Illinois in years. - Illinois/AP College Football
