Illinois' Tim Beckman is leaning on his MAC experience with playing night games and West Coast games as Illinois prepares for ASU game.
Beckman has Twitter policy where players must sign form that allows coaches to take away Twitter accounts if they post inappropriate things
Beckman said Scheelhaase didn't take reps today, rehabbing ankle. "He was much better today." Wants to get him on the field tomorrow.
Beckman: "I don't think we got the ball to our playmakers enough on offense." Need to get WRs Lankford and Millines more involved.

Beatty on Scheelhaase: "We'll prepare for him not to play. If he can, we'll adjust from that. It's a marathon, not a sprint." #illini

Beckman on DB Williams - did not surprise me, could see it during preseason work, he prepared to play the game he played.
Beckman on ILL D - responded without 3 key starters, proud of how seniors & backups responded, another challenge this week.
