BIG TEN CONTINUED FROM 12

After the Fighting Illini dropped to 1-3 with a 35-17 home loss to Penn State, Illinois head coach Ron Zook announced senior quarterback Juice Williams would be benched in favor of junior Eddie McGee when the Illini host Michi- gan State on Saturday. Through four games, Williams has just one touch- down pass, and he has thrown four interceptions on the year. McGee saw the most action in Illinois’ lone victory, over Illinois State on Sept. 12, after Williams went out with a thigh injury. Indiana After a rough 33-14 loss at home last weekend to Ohio State, the Indiana Hoosiers will play a game at Virginia. Originally, the contest was supposed to be a home game for the Hoosiers against South Florida, which plays in the Big East and is ranked 23rd in the AP poll. However, the Bulls backed out of the game late, and Indiana had to agree to a sixth road game as a result, with the Cavaliers willing to welcome the Hoosiers to Charlottesville, Va. “We’re looking forward to it,” Indiana head coach Bill Lynch said during the Big Ten football teleconference on Tuesday.“It’s an opportu- nity to go play a good, tradi- tional ACC school that has been very, very successful — particularly with Coach [Al] Groh, while he’s been there. “We know it’s going to be a good challenge and knew it was going to be when it was scheduled.” The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 11 AUTO FOREIGN TWO BEDROOM REAL ESTATE AVAILABLE NOW.
