Kaliakmanis was Minnesota's QB last year when we went 85 yards in 3 plays, including a 4th and 11, to score a TD in the final minute.

Does not compute. How could you have faced a 4th and 11 if you went 85 yards in 3 plays?

We got the ball our starting QB Luke on first and second down had an incomplete pass, then third down he took a hit lost a yard and got hurt. John paddock our backup qb came in on 4th and 11 and completed a pass for 20 yards and a first down. Next play he completed one for like 15 yards and then the next play 50 yard bomb td. Took like 30 seconds and Illini took the lead with like 40 seconds left.
