Caleb Griffin's 43-yard field goal on the final play lifts Illinois over Maryland 27-24

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- , Caleb Griffin kicked the ball through the uprights to end the game, then took off for the other end zone and slid on his stomach in celebration. It was a move he'd sort of planned out while talking with holder Hugh Robertson . “We were on the sideline and they had a lot of fans chirping, and I kind of told Hugh, I was like, ‘Hey, when we make this game-winning kick, we’re going to run down like it's a soccer game,'" Griffin said. “Like when you score a soccer goal, you run to the other end and head-first slide, and it's perfect with the wet turf.” Griffin kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired to give Illinois its first Big Ten victory of the season, a 27-24 upset of Maryland on Saturday.
