  • Titans-Colts Supplemental Notes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2020 TITANS-COLTS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES SIMMONS MAKING PLAYS: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons earned his first AFC Defensive Player of the Week award after helping to produce a pair of takeaways during last Sunday’s win against the Chicago Bears. In the third quarter, he forced a fumble that resulted in a 63-yard touchdown return by Titans cornerback Desmond King II, and he added a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter. Simmons, who also batted down a pass against the Bears, increased his totals in his second NFL season to two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In six of the seven games he has played this season—he missed one contest while on the reserve/COVID-19 list—he has either a sack, a pass defensed, a forced fumble or a fumble recovery. Simmons is one of only three NFL defensive linemen this season with a minimum of two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The other two members of the group are J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans and Benson Mayowa of the Seattle Seahawks.

    IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE BULL-ED STATEMENT Iowa rallied, but Wisconsin found a way to grind out a 26-24 win over the Hawkeyes last Saturday in Iowa City and announce that the road to the Big Ten West Division title would run through Madison a week later. Marcus Trotter (59), Konrad Zagzebski (91), Peniel Jean (21), Derek Landisch (30) and the Badgers walked out of Kinnick Stadium with the Heartland Trophy for the third-consecutive time. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF There was nowhere to throw, but seniors Rob Havenstein (left) and Kyle Costigan made sure there was room to run for Joel Stave, who tucked the ball and covered 12 yards to convert a critical third down that allowed the Badgers to run out the clock on a 26-24 win over Iowa last Saturday. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE LIKE IT’S 1999 Wisconsin’s Sara Disanza turned plenty of heads ― including nearly the entire feld as she passed everyone but champion Kate Avery of Iona ― with her runner-up fnish at the 2014 NCAA Championship last Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana. The sophomore’s showing was the best for a member of the Badgers’ women’s team since 1999. PHOTO BY WALT MIDDLETON IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE FOLLOW-THROUGH FRANK Frank Kaminsky reminded folks at home to always follow through, as he stroked in a season-high 26 points on 11-of-13 shooting ― including 4-for-5 from 3-point range ― in Wisconsin’s win over Boise State last Saturday at the Kohl Center.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov.
