Lovie Smith eager to see how Illinois looks under the spotlight

Posted Sep 6, 2016
Illinois coach Lovie Smith is accustomed to night games from his years in the NFL, but they aren't his preferred kickoff time. "I like 3:30 games," he said Monday. He also understands the value of a night game, such as Saturday's 7:30 kickoff against North Carolina. The Big Ten Network telecast is the marquee matchup of this week's nonconference slate.
