After Thursday’s spring game cancellation, Illini football was still able to put on a show to the fans in a scrimmage-like display.
In a hybrid between a practice and a scrimmage, Illinois gave the public its first look at the talent heading into the 2023 season.
The main thing everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of was incoming Ole Miss QB Luke Altmyer.
And he definitely delivered.
“He understands football very easily,” said head coach Bret Bielema after the scrimmage. “It comes to him naturally. He’s a very accurate, good passer.”
The offense shined in the scrimmage.
