Fresno State 53, at Illinois 52: Offensive lineman Devan Cunningham caught a deflected pass with two seconds left and stumbled into the end zone for a two-point conversion, giving the Bulldogs (8-4) a wild victory over the Fighting Illini (3-9). Ryan Colburn capped a 67-yard drive by connecting with Jamel Hamler for the last touchdown. Hamler caught the ball at the five and stretched across the goal line just as his knee hit the turf. After the conversion, officials reviewed the play and ruled that an Illinois defense back had tipped the ball -- not a Fresno State player -- allowing anybody to catch it.
