Peters was hit on a seven-yard run by Minnesota’s Keonte Schad. Up to that point, the former Michigan Wolverine completed 5-of-10 passes while tossing an interception.
Redshirt freshman QB Matt Robinson replaced Peters and has completed 5-of-10 passes as well, without a turnover. Minnesota leads Illinois in the third quarter, 23-10.
