Ju'Qui Womack had possibly the two biggest plays of the night in Illinois College's 22-7 win over Rhodes College on Saturday. In the second quarter with the Blueboys ahead 3-0, he came off the edge and blocked a punt and then scooped it up and scored to give IC a 9-0 lead. Later in the third, with the Blueboys up by a score of 9-7, he again blocked a punt and picked it up with the end zone in sight. Only a shoestring tackle by the punter kept him from finding the end zone for a second time, but he set IC up at the Rhodes' 13-yard line and the Blueboys scored on their first play from scrimmage to take a 16-7 lead.
