2008 Illini Football Team Still Under Construction

"On the other side of the ball, Juice (Williams) is having an outstanding summer. He's hitting some tremendous numbers. He had a 500-pound squat, and he's working out with 315 on the bench press; he's a 300-pound clean guy. He's become a lot more of a vocal leader and really has more of a presence about him.

"Arrelious Benn is doing a phenomenal job. He's already surpassed his bench press record of last summer. He's squatting and cleaning more than he did a year ago. He's like a caged lion, ready to explode and go. He's surrounded himself with some great guys like Chris Duvalt, Brian Gamble and Jeff Cumberland. You can tell how close these guys are as a group."
