Q&A: Illinois coach Ron Zook

Q: Did you expect the team to be this good?

A: "I thought we had a chance to be a lot better. I think anytime you have a quarterback like Nathan Scheelhaase -- the type of person he is, who has worked as hard as he has -- you knew you had a chance. You liked the schedule and how it opened with five home games. But the big thing is the players are letting the coaches coach them. They are working as hard as they can to be the best they can be."
