The Illini have their first win in over a year, and are looking to make it two in a row against Nebraska this week.

Here’s what head coach Lovie Smith had to say:

On team’s players of the week

• Isaiah Williams (offense), Jake Hansen (defense) and James McCourt (special teams)
• It’s nice to see the Big Ten sees it the way we do.

On the quarterback situation

• What I see is that we have our starting quarterback who’s been out, and he’s available this week.
• What I also saw is what our other quarterback was able to do this week.
