The first major conference matchup week in college football unfolded in the last weekend in September and it did not disappoint. In the New Conference Order, suddenly a matchup between Illinois and Southern California is (1) a conference matchup and (2) one between ranked teams. And on national TV, the Fighting Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer took over. Altmyer struck early, was efficient, and finished the game. He ended 20-26 with 328 yards on such limited attempts. And two TDs in a thrilling 34-32 victory. And no interceptions. And he was efficient with his legs on five carries and tack on another touchdown. Oh and, he caught a TD pass. Talk about doing it all. Altmyer answered the critics after a tough loss and has positioned Illinois with their conference title fate in front of them. Luke Altmyer is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
