CHAMPAIGN — Lovie Smith has a clear idea of what quarterbacks he’ll have available this Saturday when Minnesota visits Memorial Stadium.
“Yes, we do,” the Illinois coach said Monday afternoon.
Smith, though, is remaining tight-lipped about whether Jeff George Jr., Wes Lunt or Chayce Crouch will start against the Golden Gophers.
Lunt has missed the last two games with a back injury he sustained against Purdue on Oct. 8, while Crouch hurt his shoulder on Oct. 15 in the first half at Rutgers and played the rest of the game against the Scarlet Knights before missing this past Saturday’s 41-8 loss at Michigan.
