Gene Chizik on Illinois

Posted Sep 18, 2015
UNC defensive coordinator Gene Chizik on the Illini's scheme and personnel: "They have a lot of different personnel groupings that put a lot of pressure on you. Very physical offensive line. Great running back who rushed for a lot of yards, he's a very good player. Really good receivers. The quarterback, if you give him time and he get's in a rhythm he can shred you." (Carolina Blue)
