Scheelhaase leads surging Illinois offense
December 2, 2010 8:14 AM
Scheelhaase has thrived in his freshman season, passing for 1,522 yards and 16 touchdowns and adding 684 yards and three more touchdowns on the ground. The redshirt freshman has improved as the season has gone on, passing for 12 touchdowns and only one interception and adding 396 rush yards and a touchdown in his past five games.
"For a thinking quarterback, a quarterback who likes to think and likes to make checks and do different things like that, this offense is perfect," Scheelhaase said. "It puts some pressure on the quarterback, but that's something I like. It's an advantage for us when I know what the defense is in, know their looks and I know what our plays are for.
"That's when we're playing better as an offense."
