Summary

All-American linebacker J Leman joins Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner to review Illinois football's 30-13 loss to No. 7 Penn State. J breaks down what went so wrong for QB Luke Altmyer in his four-interception performance, how a reworked offensive line performed and whether Illinois needs to play more of its young skill players. Leman then breaks down why he's so encouraged by the Illini defense's performance, Johnny Newton's dominance and Matthew Bailey's impact. Leman wraps up by discussing what he wants to see from the Illini against Florida Atlantic and his early thoughts on the rest of the Big Ten.
