Have yourself a day, Payne Durham!
His 1st touchdown grab of the day was a beauty. He made a spectacular catch and somehow found a way to keep his feet in bounds for the go-ahead touchdown.
Durham is up to 5 receptions for 52 yards and 1 touchdown.
ChamPayne 🤯

That lead did not last too long. Illinois pounded out a 5:36 minute drive that eventually ended with Brian Hightower in the end zone for a touchdown and a 21-21 score.
Hightower has played well for the Illini, totaling 4 receptions for 75 yards and the below touchdown.
It’s a great one in Champaign.
