With last year’s spring ball getting shut down early, Shane Illingworth got pushed into the spotlight prematurely, but he handled it well, all things considered.
Illingworth showed the progression he has made in Oklahoma State’s spring game Saturday, throwing for 236 yards (unofficial) and two touchdowns. Illingworth said having the full spring has helped him “tremendously,” crediting quarterback coach Tim Rattay.
“I feel more confident,” Illingworth said. “I think I know the playbook a lot. I knew the playbook a lot last year, but now it’s just coming to a whole other level. I feel like it’s really coming along for all of us.
