Bye Week
September 19, 2008
Weekly Report Posted: September 11, 2008 19:37
The Illinis have a bye week this week preparing for Penn State next week. We caught up with Coach Camara earlier this week and asked him some questions.
Did you expect to be 3-0 going into the Penn State game?
Well as a coach i believe my team can win every game. Especially with the talent that we have here at Illinois. But you never know what can happen in games especially when you play a high caliber team like Missouri.
What player has been the biggest surprise for you so far this season?
I'm very pleased with the play of Juice Williams. He is leading this offense and slinging the ball around without making a lot of mistakes, i'm really proud of him and he has come a long way since last season.
How do you see the rest of the year turning out?
I would like to win the Big Ten, but our main focus right now is on Penn State University.
What game are you looking forward to most?
I'm really looking forward to the Ohio State game, right now we are both undefeated and hopefully we can reach the showdown like that and make this a great experience for our fans.
