Zook gives Illini pep talk

At about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Zook got a text message from starting quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who was watching tape of Saturday's game.

"He was down there (Sunday) morning, watching it some more," Zook said. "The one good thing about him now, he'll do everything in his God-given power to get better and help this football team."
