CHAMPAIGN — J Leman kept one eye on the Memorial Stadim turf Saturday and one eye on his cellphone.
The former Illini-linebacker-turned-BTN analyst was waiting for a call from his wife, Katy. The couple is expecting their third child any day now. Leman was ready to jump in the car in a flash and return to his Wheaton home.
As of mid-afternoon, no call. After practice, Leman and a BTN camera operator filmed a segment with Illinois coach Lovie Smith.
Leman keeps informed about his alma mater. Both for personal and BTN reasons.
What has he heard?
