Bloomington Pantagraph: QB Lunt doing some coaching as well for Illini
Bill Cubit may have the title of “interim head coach,” but quarterback Wes Lunt has taken it upon himself to be a more forceful coaching voice in the University of Illinois huddle.
As such, Lunt has spent the week trying to coax improvement from an offense that sputtered during last week’s 48-14 loss at North Carolina. He’ll try to be a take-charge leader Saturday as Illinois (2-1) hopes to bounce back strong against Middle Tennessee (2-1) at Memorial Stadium.
