CHAMPAIGN - It's no secret the Illinois offensive line has struggled to start the year. Injuries and inexperience have limited the way Illinois has been able to run it's offense.
The Illini haven't been able to run the ball, and they're not protecting the quarterback even close to the way Tim Beckman wants it done. They've been held to two touchdowns or fewer in four of the last five games, and for Beckman that all starts with improving the offensive line.
