Illini healthy, Zook happy, Reilly O'Toole ready

Zook has no qualms about burning the redshirt year of true freshman quarterback O'Toole, who injured his shoulder when he drilled during mopup work.

"We're going to get Reilly on the field as much as we can, to get him ready," Zook said. "God forbid, but if something were to happen to Nathan [Scheelhaase], we're going to need him and Miles [Osei, a sophomore backup]. We all think Reilly can help us win, so let's get him ready to go."
