Grimes on what he learned is they aren't where they need to be.

They can play better in a lot of areas. Hopes players realize it takes your best effort to win at that level.

Hope they have a sense of urgency.

With short week crunched on time. Getting in 90% of game plan in short time.

Grimes said he felt like Illinois disguised their defense as well as anybody he's seen. Said there are certain reads and they took run away with man coverage.

Thought the OL played well. Ran ball into heavy boxes. Credited the RB and said they played well.

Grimes said he needs to get ball in RB hands more in crunch time.

Said UNLV similar in style and thinks they are better defense than last year.

Said TE graded out "okay" but not a major contributing factor.

Likes what they have done in practice and that has to be better to win. Said they are anxious to get better.

He said Jalon was down and felt negative. Said he was frustrated but not shaken. Said he's ready to compete again this week.

UNLV front plays with recklessness. That can be challenging for an OL. On the backend experienced and lot of speed. Can lock you up and run with you man to man.
