CHAMPAIGN - Tim Beckman is putting to rest any talk of a quarterback
controversy. The Illini coach came right out and said Monday Nathan
Scheelhaase is the starting quarterback despite a sub-par performance
Saturday.
Scheelhaase was back on the field after missing two games with a sprained ankle, and he didn't last long. He threw an interception and lost a fumble, then he was benched after the first quarter.
Reilly O'Toole came in and completed 19 of 25 passes, but Scheelhaase - who Beckman admitted looked "rusty" Saturday - still has a lock on the job.
