He's taken plenty of heat for the Illini's offensive struggles this season, but first-year offensive coordinator Mike Schultz looked like the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders after his unit put up 38 points Saturday.

"Let me tell you something. I mean, gosh, I would have tried to click it earlier than the third quarter today," Schultz said when asked what was different Saturday. "I don't know.
