Solid outing sets up Juice for promising senior season

"I'll be honest," said Zook, "I saw a couple of passes that were the worst he has thrown all spring. But Juice is a humble guy and they know he is the leader. The maturity that he is developing is exciting."
Zook reminded that the quarterbacks ran no options Saturday - "Juice does that well; it's a big part of our package" - and, more than that, the quarterbacks on both sides never kept the ball on misdirection plays, and never threw a ball to the tight ends. With opening foe Missouri particularly interested, the Illini played it straight.
Flooded by reporters afterward, Williams said: "I've got to be more efficient. It was particularly hard throwing into the wind. The option and the zone read are 60 percent of our offense, and the defensive line knew I wouldn't carry so they attacked the running back."
