The Illini kicked off the Bret Bielema era with a 30-22 win over Nebraska and will look to get to 2-0 this weekend against UTSA. Offensive Coordinator Tony Petersen, Defensive Coordinator Ryan Walters and Bielema met the media on Monday to discuss the win and preview this week’s contest.

Here’s what Petersen had to say about:

The quarterback room:

• “Deuce Spann is spending his time right now in the wide receiver room. We could bring Deuce back if we needed to but he’s got a very special skill set.”
• “Ryan Johnson and Matt Robinson are a close 3-4 in the quarterback room.
