The conversation was recorded in Champaign a few weeks ago.
When Lovie Smith appeared live on Sportscenter a few weeks ago, ESPN reporter Marty Smith also made the trip to Champaign to record his own interview with the Illinois head coach. That conversation finally aired on the network Sunday morning and, as always, it was extremely cool to see the Orange and Blue being featured.
Lovie briefly touched on some topics we’ve already heard before, but this time around he also addressed some of the unique opportunities that the college level has presented over the past several months.
