Illini Duo Get Big Ten Honors
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Illinois quarterback Juice Williams and linebacker Brit Miller played big in the Illini's 45-20 road win over Michigan Saturday, earning some recognition from the Big Ten.

Williams is the conference's offensive player of the week after setting a new Michigan Stadium record with 431 combined yards for the Illini. Williams threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for another 121 yards with two more touchdowns.

Miller, meanwhile, is the Big Ten defensive player of the week. He had two sacks, four tackles for losses and broke up two passes.

Running back Rashard Mendenhall and lineman Will Davis were the last pair of Illini players to win Big Ten honors in the same week. That was last September after a win over Indiana.

Sox Eliminated, Rays Move On
CHICAGO (AP) -- It's another first for the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rays have advanced to the American League Championship Series for the first time in their 11-season history by downing the Chicago White Sox 6-2 in Game 4 of the ALDS at U.S. Cellular Field.

B.J. Upton put the Rays ahead to stay, belting a solo homer two batters into the game before adding another solo blast in the third inning. Cliff Floyd sparked a two-run fourth that put Tampa Bay ahead 4-0, hitting an RBI double and scoring on Dioner Navarro's single.

Carlos Pena provided a pair of run-scoring singles to keep the Rays in control of the game.

Winning pitcher Andrew Sonnanstine held the White Sox to a pair of runs and three hits in five and two-thirds. He outpitched Gavin Floyd, who was rocked for four runs and five hits in three-plus innings.

The Rays will face Boston in the ALCS.
