CHAMPAIGN — Lovie Smith wants more than just better accuracy from Wes Lunt.
Or improved decision-making from the Illinois quarterback.
And, the Illinois coach added on Monday, it’s more than just those two facets Lunt, and the rest of his teammates, need to correct before the Illini (1-2) play at No. 15 Nebraska (4-0) at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Big Ten opener for Smith’s program.
“We’ve played three games together,” Smith said, “and it’s our overall game is what we need to improve.”
Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee was more specific Monday on what he wants the fifth-year senior to bring to the Memorial Stadium turf against the Cornhuskers in the Illini’s first road game this season.
