Illinois coach Tim Beckman says both Reilly O'Toole and Aaron Bailey will play at quarterback Saturday against Minnesota.

But offensive coordinator Bill Cubit isn't sure just how that rotation is going to work.

Beckman said during his regular news conference Monday that with starter Wes Lunt still out with an injury, O'Toole and Bailey will share time for Illinois (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten).

Cubit said later he doesn't know how that plan will work against the Gophers (6-1, 3-0). He said he's never used a two-quarterback system.

When asked if he liked the idea, Cubit replied, "If it helps us win, yeah."

Both quarterbacks played in Illinois' last game, a 38-28 loss at Wisconsin. Bailey came on as late relief for O'Toole and rallied the Illini for two touchdowns.
