I was able to be on the field for the Illinois vs. #1 Ohio State football game on November 7th, 2007 in Columbus, Ohio. This Picture captures the players as the Illini prepare to receive a punt in Ohio Stadium.
I'm not sure why, but for some reason the color faded a lot when I uploaded this.

"I know 'shock the world' is overused," Illini linebacker J Leman said. "It is pretty shocking to most people, but not to the guys in the locker room."
It was the first time Illinois (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten) had beaten a No. 1 since 1956, and the first time it had done it away from home. The defeat also ended a record streak of 20 Big Ten wins in a row by Ohio State (10-1, 6-1).
"This is a game I'll remember for the rest of my life," Ohio State offensive tackle Kirk Barton said. "This is disappointing."
' 28-21 victory over No. 1 Ohio State was big for the following reasons:
• Ended Ohio State's Big Ten-record 20-game winning streak.
• Ended Ohio State's school-record 28-game regular season win streak.
• Illinois' first win vs. a No. 1 team since 1956.
• Illinois' first-ever win vs. a No. 1 team on road.
• Illinois is first team to rush for over 200 yards vs. Ohio State since 2001.
