CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two days of full practice.
Before practice last Wednesday morning prior to facing No. 7 Penn State, Illinois coaches made the change of Isaiah Adams to right tackle, Zy Crisler at right guard and the combination of Josh Gesky and Jordyn Slaughter at left guard, an established alteration to the lineup for the final two days of full-contact practices. This means prior to facing one of the most aggressive and active pass rushers in the Big Ten Conference, Illinois elected to have just two days of full-contact practice before permanently reshuffling its offensive line from its lineup of the first two games.
