(WAND) -- 14 spring practies down one more to go for Illinois football as they wrap of the spring season.
Head Coach Bret Bielema said these practices have been very beneficial for not only the new players but the new coaches as well.
This year the big question is what the defense will look like with a new defensive coordinator calling the plays.
Bielema added going through the transition a few years ago with coordinators he doesn't think it will be that big of a difference and it's allowing the guys to play faster.
