CHAMPAIGN — Almost six years after he first set foot inside Memorial Stadium, Wes Lunt will play his final game at the venerable venue situated off Kirby Avenue.
Ironically, the Illinois quarterback is slated to make his first start in more than a month against Iowa, the same team he started against back in 2014 when he returned to the field after he fractured a fibula.
Today, the 23-year-old Lunt should start against the Hawkeyes, his first time lining up under center to start a game since he injured his back against Purdue on Oct. 8.
Pain has filled Lunt’s college career.
