Lucas Crowley: "We are all more confident in the way we play"

Lucas Crowley on Illinois' defense and their defensive line: "They are very solid up front. They are all big guys. Athletic. One of the better defenses we have seen this year. So I think we just have to buckle down, get in the film room, and make sure we know all of their tendencies and stuff like that. Go out there and play the way we need to play." (Carolina Blue)
