New coaches bringing old-school football to Illini
April 8, 2010 7:20 AM
Offensive coordinator Paul Petrino has a rule that especially the receivers heard over and over. When the play is done, hand the ball to an official. That's hand the ball to him, not flip it, throw it or spin it on the ground to celebrate a big play.
"Our group of receivers will make sure they do what they're told," Petrino said. "You talk about it every time you watch tape. The other day, we had a couple of them who didn't had the ball to the officials after the play was done. I think that's important. You want to make sure you hand it, not throw it or spin it.
"Every once in a while, they'll get overzealous in a game. Something will happen. You have to make them run and make sure they don't do it again."
