DE Walker rumbles into end zone, Maclin counters

No tags for this entry.

Missouri opened up the lead to a four point spread via a 51 yard field go by senior kicker Jeff Wolfert, but the Tigers didn't hold on for long.

Illinois' junior defensive end Derek Walker intercepted a short pass by Daniel and took it back for six. The 270 lb. lineman had an easy sprint to the end zone and gave the Illini a 13-10 advantage.

But sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Maclin put the lead back into MU's hands on the ensuing kickoff return. Maclin went 99 yards through the Illinois coverage team.

Missouri now leads 13-17.
