Wide receiver Ricky Smalling and tight end Louis Dorsey aren’t to blame. Smalling had a career-high five receptions for 111 yards, including a 30-yard TD grab in the fourth quarter. Ricky has that.”McGee said Smalling has often approached him during games demanding to have the ball thrown his way. George said he has been working on correcting the mistakes, but he still isn’t afraid to air it out to Smalling or Dorsey even if a defender is nearby. Coach Lovie Smith said there are still a few things to build on before the Illini visit the Golden Gophers.
