Hank Beatty News: Scores against Broncos

Beatty reeled in all six targets for 53 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-0 victory against Western Michigan.

Despite failing to cross the century mark against Western Michigan, Beatty found the end zone for the first time this season, connecting with quarterback Luke Altmyer on a six-yard pass in the second quarter to give Illinois a 10-0 lead at the time. With the game well in hand in the second half, the Illinois coaching staff likely were looking to get others involved, leading to a less productive day by Beatty's standards. Still, the 5-foot-11 receiver caught all six of his targets, bringing his season totals to 19 receptions for 289 yards and a touchdown through three games. An exciting matchup against Indiana awaits on Saturday.
