Leipold said solid defensive performance need to clean up mental mistakes.

Illinois made some big catches and needed to come up with a play to get off the field.

Yesterday they got home late and people and bodies were tired. But they had a good practice and did so today.

Need leadership because there are no options. You have to move forward.

Blake Herold is on new depth chart and Panagos rotates guys.

With early game the day off this week will be Saturday. Did spider pads today to give guys bodies a rest.

Said Klieman texted him today about the short week since they are in the same situation.

Going with the blackout no reason for doing it against UNLV.

Said going out of RPO some times Jalon might not have might right read is what he's hinting at.

After Devin 7 yard run in 4th quarter he said there was a play where Foster snapped it thinking defender was offside and that is a taught pass play but they didn't call offsides.

Said this UNLV team is better than who they played in the bowl game. Said QB gives them better run game and have an all American WR. Said UNLV believes they are a top 25 team.

With so many veterans and leaders he feels good.

I asked Leipold how they did on the lone of scrimmage. He had a quick response and said they were better at LOS but didn't win the game.

Jayson Gilliom battling a leg injury and they will have to see how he feels.
