Watch as Coach Bret Bielema explains and shows practice video of the Illini Drill involving the Bigs. This drill involves an offensive and defensive player in a short, tight blocking environment with a ball being run behind. The goal is to have the players strain and fight while not picking sides or running around. The drill also teaches the RB to read the block and set up the defender.
