FILE - In this Oct. 1, 2016, file photo, Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt (12) looks for a receiver during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Nebraska, in Lincoln, Neb. Lunt started all 12 games last season and threw for 250 yards five times, and he looked like a lock to do the same under first-year coach Lovie Smith. He hurt his back against Purdue on Oct. 8 and hasn’t played since. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)

FILE - In this Oct. 8, 2016, file photo, Illinois head coach Lovie Smith, standing right, looks on as Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt (12) is attended to after being injured during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Purdue, in Champaign, Ill. After a devastating overtime loss to Purdue, Illinois faces new questions. Chief among them is whether Lunt will be in the lineup after leaving the game after a big hit and seeing his replacement, Chayce Crouch, look more than adequate running and passing.

FILE - In this Sept. 1, 2012 file photo, Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt throws against Savannah State during an NCAA college football game in Stillwater, Okla. Illinois head coach Tim Beckman says he's in no hurry to name a starting quarterback and that the competition between the three potential candidates to succeed Nathan Scheelhaase is wide open. Lunt brings a skill set and a pedigree that the Illini haven't seen in a while. The tall, strong-armed quarterback sat out last season after transferring from Oklahoma State.
