Illinois Game: KNEB Reports Sharpe Injury
Illinois Fighting Illini fans were dealt a blow during their game against Chattanooga on Saturday, November 12th. KNEB reported that star quarterback Tommy DeVito suffered an apparent injury after a hit in the first quarter. DeVito was seen grimacing and grabbing his knee before being taken to the sidelines for evaluation.
DeVito was replaced by backup Luke Altmyer who led the Illini to a 31-24 victory. While DeVito returned to the sideline in the second half, he was not able to return to the game. The extent of his injury is still unknown, but KNEB reports that he is being evaluated further.
This injury comes at a crucial point for the Fighting Illini. DeVito had been having a strong season so far, leading Illinois to a 6-1 record, including a victory over Wisconsin in their Big Ten opener.
Altmyer has shown promise in his limited time, but DeVito is the clear starter and his absence could have a significant impact on Illinois' chances for the rest of the season.
Fans are anxious to hear more information about DeVito's injury and whether he will be able to return to the field soon. The Illini will face Nebraska next week and a healthy DeVito will be crucial for their chances of winning.
