#Illini Shine in East-West Shrine Game
Illinois had five departing seniors play in the 91st edition of the East West Shrine Game Saturday, Jan. 23, at Tropicana Field in Tamba Bay. Four Illini – WR Geronimo Allison , DB/Returner V'Angelo Bentley , FS Clayton Fejedelem and OL Ted Karras – helped the West to a 29-9 win, while RB Josh Ferguson led the rushing attack for the East.
WR Geronimo Allison (West) » Led all Shrine Game receivers with 11 targets and six receptions for 68 yards and two touchdowns. He hauled in a 10 yard touchdown pass from Vernon Adams, Jr., in the second quarter and a six-yard TD from Nate Sudfeld in the third quarter. He also forced a fumble after a West turnover and rushed one time for two yards.
DB V'Angelo Bentley (West) » Made three tackles, including one TFL, defended one pass, returned three punts for 13 yards and one kickoff for 13 yards to help the West to victory.
FS Clayton Fejedelem (West) » Intercepted East QB Blake Frohnopfel in the third quarter and also made one tackle as the West defense allowed just nine points on the day.
RB Josh Ferguson (East) » Was the East's leading rusher with eight carries for 33 yards and was second on the team with four receptions for 11 yards. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards and assisted on a tackle after an interception by the West defense.
OL Ted Karras (West) » Played mostly at left guard and helped the West roll up 462 yards in the victory.
