Put Fitbits on the head coaches before today's Illinois-Minnesota game and the difference will be stunning.
Illinois' Lovie Smith: Zero steps. Or close to it. He is like a statue. With a really cool beard.
Minnesota's P.J. Fleck? About 50,000. In the first half. He runs around like a Gopher with his head cut off. One holding an oar.
In terms of style, third-year coach Smith and second-year coach Fleck are opposites.
The 60-year-old Smith is deliberate. He doesn't waste a lot of movement or words. Never drones on when asked a question. He gets to the point, in his Texas drawl.
