Eddie McGee masters jack-of-all trades role

Not quite like the Ohio State band's tradition, Illinois quarterback Eddie McGee unintentionally created his own version of dotting the "I" at Memorial Stadium during his first day of practice.

"The first workout on this field we ran perimeters," McGee said. "I threw up right on the 'I' (that starts the word 'Illinois' on the field). Everyone yelled at me and was mad at me."
