Beckman dealing with stress of Illini struggles

By: Aaron Bennett

Updated: October 11, 2012

CHAMPAIGN - Illinois' 2-4 start has put a lot of stress on the fans, the players and the coaches - but maybe nobody is feeling the pressure more than head coach Tim Beckman.

Beckman said Saturday the stress might be contributing to his tobacco use, which the cameras caught at Wisconsin. It isn't at all the way Beckman had hoped to start his Illini career, and from here on out the pressure is on.
