Illinois dropped its season opener at Wisconsin last Friday, 45-7. On Monday, Illini head coach Lovie Smith discussed the game and what the team plans to do differently Saturday against Purdue. Here’s what he had to say:

On Wisconsin loss

  • The team watched the video and are ready to learn, move on to Purdue.
  • Run game was played fairly well.
  • Surprising loss, but we’re a better team than that. It won’t continue.
  • The team is tested everyday.
  • No new positives right now, but aware of the situation.
