Illinois may have their next special quarterback in Wes Lunt. Especially as he gets the benefit of “Cubitism.” Since Bill Cubit is the Picasso of O-Coordinators.
He has starting experience with the Oklahoma State Cowboys, having been recruited and coached by Mike “I’M A MAN! I’M 40!” Gundy, who was himself a star QB with Ok St. Now Wes Lunt is eligible this fall and has chance to
1.) show us what that potential NFL future hype is all about and
2.) lead the Fighting Illini to a bowl game with an EXTREMELY soft schedule that’s conducive towards bringing the Illini to the postseason.
Reilly O’Toole is…..well, perfectly suited to be the Illini third string QB behind Lunt and Aaron Bailey.
Anyway, while warming up for the Orange and Blue spring scrimmage at Memorial Stadium, Fighting Illini quarterbacks Reilly O’Toole (4) and Wes Lunt (12) sing along to Backstreet Boys hit “I Want it That Way.” The QBs were mic’d up for the web series “The Illinois QB.”
This video of Wes Lunt and Reilly O’Toole was just published on YouTube yesterday
