Reeling Illini defense trying to get its swagger back

"We're going to brainstorm and see what we come up with," safety Trulon Henry said. "But we have to get it back."

By "it," Henry means the swagger that has vanished from the Illini defense and would come in handy Saturday against Northwestern at Wrigley Field. In losses the last two weeks to Michigan and Minnesota, the Illini allowed a total of 105 points and 1,037 yards.
