UChicago brought a strong showing to the Homecoming football game on October 17, filling the stands at Stagg Field—and the street outside it—for a 20–14 victory for the Maroons against Illinois College, their fifth consecutive win.
After a strong first three quarters as the game’s sole scorers, an interception and two missed field goals by the Maroons allowed the Blueboys to score two touchdowns in the final five minutes. The Maroons are now 4–0 in the Midwest Conference with an overall record of 5–1.
Chicago Maroon photographers Caitlyn Jordan and Nathaniel Rodwell-Simon were on the sidelines to capture the game.
