QB Lunt gets praise from opposing coach

The Illinois Fighting Illini have a big test this weekend as the Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Champaign.

Nebraska has been terrible against the pass this season and while the Illini have no been as prolific as hoped without star WR Mike Dudek, they still pose a significant threat to the Huskers. 

Mike Riley recognizes that and had some glowing words for the Illini's QB on the Big Ten conference call:

“Really looks like an efficient player,” Riley said. “Very accurate, has been productive yardage-wise, and very good at running the offense. Lots of very, very both tangible and intangibles that make up what looks like a very solid quarterback.”

If the Illini want to start Big Ten play 1-0 they will need Lunt to come through in a big way.
