One of the saddest to see it end is receiver/quarterback Eddie McGee. While he's had a bumpy ride at times, he is one of the most loyal players on the team, one others turn to for leadership. McGee is excited about the opportunity to put on his Illini uniform one more time. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1029845.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1029845.html Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:31:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois In most cases, college football teams are only as good as their senior leadership. At Illinois, the upcoming seniors are small in number, so the quality of their leadership is essential. Eddie McGee is doing his part, not only as a leader but in preparing for service at two important positions on the offense. http://illinois.scout.com/2/988829.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/988829.html Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:05:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois The dawn of the 2007 Illilni football season saw plenty of potential at quarterback. The top two quarterbacks were in their second years, and both made good impressions. But Juice Williams has now graduated, and the redshirted Eddie McGee has been switched to wide receiver. It wasn't part of the original plan, but McGee is trying to make the best of it. http://illinois.scout.com/2/973426.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/973426.html Sat, 29 May 2010 20:38:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Sometimes change is necessary. When a football team is underperforming, a change can provide a needed impetus and spark of energy to turn things around. Illini coach Ron Zook announced the elevation of Eddie McGee to the starting quarterback job, but he did so only after pondering his team's need to get wins and regain its swagger. http://illinois.scout.com/2/906525.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/906525.html Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:08:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois The toughest job in college football is backup quarterback. You have to be ready to lead your team to victory at all times, and yet you may never play. As Illini quarterback Eddie McGee has found out over the past three years, no matter how well you prepare each week, it is an entirely different experience when you actually receive playing time. http://illinois.scout.com/2/899050.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/899050.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:53:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois One of the most difficult jobs in football is the backup quarterback. He must prepare every week to lead his team's offense even though he may never get into the game. Fighting Illini quarterback Eddie McGee is as familiar with the role as anyone could be, but he continues to improve. When he gets into a game, there's minimal dropoff. http://illinois.scout.com/2/893755.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/893755.html Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:07:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Some football players just have to get onto the field. Their talent, combined with their hunger to play and need to help their team win override limiting factors. Illini quarterback Eddie McGee is one of these players. He has sat patiently on the bench backing up Juice Williams, but he is willing to play receiver if it means getting more playing time. http://illinois.scout.com/2/866440.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/866440.html Wed, 20 May 2009 22:02:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois People knew Eddie McGee was on the Illinois football roster, but may have thought he was just another young quarterback that will eventually change positions because he’s playing behind star quarterback Juice Williams. McGee is a rare breed; he’s a true team player.
