What LaNorris Sellers Had to Say Ahead of This Game
“We’ve looked pretty good. I mean, still like as much as fun as we’re having, like we put a lot in our practice, still getting good work in, but having fun at the same time.”
On Illinois’ defense…
“Yeah, they mix in a little bit of swipe, a lot of man coverage. They’re kind of like an SEC defense. They do a lot. They’ve got a good front seven. So, we’ve got to take what we can.”
On his working with center Vershon Lee…
“Pretty good. It was smoother than I thought it was going to be but I knew from last year, I talked to a lot of guys last year so we just built up from last year and that was just close.”
On Josh Simon becoming his top receiver…
“He was a bigger body, experienced guy, so you know you can go to him. He’s been in college games and stuff. As the season progressed and stuff, we just got better and better.”
