Illini football banking on attitude adjustment

Arrelious Benn says the Illini are sporting a new attitude. Most assuredly, it's a different one from last season when players seemed to be going in different directions or their own way. Illinois slumped to 5-7 after going 9-4 in 2007.

"We're more of a team this year," said the junior receiver, a 6-foot-2, 220-pounder from Washington, D.C. "We're all brothers here. We weren't as much of a team (as we needed to be) last year."
