Game day Q&A: 'We're trying to improve every week'

Safety Stanley Green and the Illini will face South Florida at 2:30 p.m. today at Soldier Field.How did it feel to recover a blocked punt for a score?

It was surreal. I've seen it on tape. I feel like I did everything right.

How is the defense performing so far?

We saw a lot of improvement from the first game to the second game. We're trying to improve every week. I see some good things and I see some things we need to work on. We're pretty good for the second week of the season.

We miss those guys, but it's the next man up. We've got guys ready to step in and make plays.
