Illini must make crucial Game 2 adjustments

Q: What happened to Illinois in the second half against Mizzou?

A: Coach Ron Zook suggested Missouri crowded the line of scrimmage with more defenders. Better get used to that strategy. The Illini will likely face defenses built to stop the run, forcing quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to win games with his arm. Illini running back Mikel Leshoure rushed for 112 yards, including 74 in the first half.
