Welcome to another week of Fighting Illini football! Lovie Smith will hold his usual media session at 1:00pm CT, and he’ll be accompanied by Garrick McGee, Hardy Nickerson Sr., Wes Lunt, Hardy Nickerson Jr., Carroll Phillips, Dawuane Smoot, and Joe Spencer. We’ll have video of those interviews up later, but for now here’s a look at Illinois’ depth chart for the Western Michigan game.
So the biggest questions post-Saturday were on the offensive line and defensive backfield, as redshirt-freshman Gabe Megginson (ankle) and senior Caleb Day (knee) both left the game with injuries. Unsurprisingly, the Illini held steady with their roster and no official changes have been made.
