Illini QBs getting pounded
CHAMPAIGN – Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase has taken a beating this season, one like no other Big Ten quarterback.
The Illini (2-7, 0-5 Big Ten) have given up 32 sacks, 10 more than any other team in the conference. Scheelhaase has been on the receiving end of most of those, and it's shown.
The junior has missed part or all of four games with an ankle injury and a concussion. And Illinois' coaches, with the whipping Scheehaase has taken in mind, have further limited the struggling Illini offense.
