O'Toole sharp in Illinois scrimmage

Illinois offensive coordinator Paul Petrino said windy conditions and his own disposition prompted him to run the ball more than throw it during Sunday's scrimmage.

"I always want to walk off this field feeling tough, so sometimes in these early scrimmages I just get mad and run it," he said.

When the Illini did pass, Petrino was pleased by the play of freshman backup quarterback Reilly O'Toole.
