Illinois dropped its season opener at Wisconsin last Friday, 45-7. On Monday, Illini head coach Lovie Smith discussed the game and what the team plans to do differently Saturday against Purdue. Here’s what he had to say:
On Wisconsin loss
- The team watched the video and are ready to learn, move on to Purdue.
- Run game was played fairly well.
- Surprising loss, but we’re a better team than that. It won’t continue.
- The team is tested everyday.
- No new positives right now, but aware of the situation.
