CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois and No. 7 Penn State will not announce their starting quarterbacks before Saturday’s Big Ten Conference showdown at Beaver Stadium.
The Illini and Nittany Lions are facing similar circumstances with one of their top quarterbacks either recovering from or dealing with an injury, but Illinois’ situation is a little less defined.
“We’ll make that (starting quarterback) decision public when the game starts, so I won’t name a starter before that,” Illini coach Bret Bielema said. “Our players know, our coaches know. Everything’s been that way since Tuesday’s practice forward.”
Bielema said his team will be ready no matter who starts under center for the Nittany Lions.
“We’ve prepared for a variety of different looks offensively,” Bielema said. “(For) all three quarterbacks, we’ve had game plans (with) an understanding that we don’t really know who’s gonna show up on Saturday, so we’ll go with it as it plays out before us during the game.”
