Notes: Illinois College enters today's game following a 50-28 win over Cornell College last Saturday in Jacksonville.
Kevin Wallace caught nine passes for 183 yards and a touchdown and
Davis Kinville ran for three touchdowns in the Blueboys' win. … Illinois College will attempt to match its 2011 regular-season record of 9-1 with a win today. … An Illinois College win today, combined with a Lake Forest College loss to St. Norbert College, would lead to a three-way tie atop the Midwest Conference standings and a shared conference championship. The determination of a conference representative to compete in the NCAA playoffs would then go to a tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker of head-to-head play would be skipped, as Illinois College and St. Norbert did not play this season. The second tiebreaker is quarters led in Midwest Conference play, which Illinois College has already sealed. Illinois College has led 30 quarters, St. Norbert has led 22 and Lake Forest has led 21 entering the final regular-season game. … Illinois College swept the MWC weekly awards this week as Wallace was named the MWC Offensive Performer of the Week,
Kurt Frischman was named the MWC Defensive Performer of the Week and
Matt Newman was named the MWC Special Teams Player of the Week. … Carroll holds a 10-6 edge in the career series with the Blueboys. … Live stats and streaming video of today's game are available at:
