URBANA, Ill. – The Illinois football team was back on the practice field Thursday morning for Training Camp practice No. 12. After a closed walk-through day on Wednesday, the Illini returned full-practice mode at the Campus Recreation Fields east of Memorial Stadium at Florida Ave. and Goodwin Ave. in Urbana (MAP).
Quoting Lovie Smith
On where the team is at right now:
"I think we have the guys in the right spots. Guys are getting to know the roles they'll have on our football team. The offense did a good job finishing plays today."
On transfer QB Brandon Peters:
"Brandon Peters has been as good as advertised throwing the football. We haven't named a starter or anything like that, but just watching practice you notice he's been everything we want him to be. He's really getting comfortable in the offense and comfortable being a new teammate. I've seen him growing each day in that role."
On the energy at practice:
"I liked everything that happened today with our football team. It was a good practice. Energy can mislead you sometimes, it's 'how are you practicing?'. We practiced hard today."
