No. 12 Penn State Rolls Over No. 22 Illinois, 38-24

Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Derrick Williams came to Penn State in 2005 as one of the most hyped recruits Joe Paterno had ever lured to Happy Valley. For the past three years, Williams hasn't quite lived up to his advance billing. On Saturday night against No. 22 Illinois, the speedy senior put on a show like no Nittany Lion has ever done during Paterno's 43-year tenure. Williams caught a touchdown pass, ran for a TD and returned a kick 94 yards for another score as the 12th-ranked Nittany Lions (5-0, 1-0) stayed unbeaten with a 38-24 win. It was the first time that trifecta had been accomplished by a Penn State player under Paterno. "This is the first time he's really had a chance to break out," Paterno said. "Derrick's been in tough games and made big plays ... He's a heck of an athlete." - NCAA Football - Penn State Nittany Lions - Derrick Williams - Anthony Scirrotto - Joe Paterno - Daryll Clark (link)
