Jenksismyhero Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 11:49 PM) I was at the Texas Bowl tonight. Illinois was just too dominant on both lines, and I must say, Leshoure is legit. I think we all knew that but watching him in person, reading the blocks and.then accelerating through the hole was a real treat. I don't see how he won't be successful in the NFL. And unfortunately for Illinois, he'd be dumb to come back to school. I don't see how he could have a better season than this. The defense also came up huge today, and while Griffin had a big game, that was expected, and Illinois limited the rest of the players, which is exactly what they needed to do. Only complaint is that the mid- and deep-middle were open all day for Baylor. If Griffin had connected with a few open receivers, it could have been a whole different ball game. But, Illinois took advantage of that, and that's what winning teams do. Also, I think I was the only person in the stadium not fooled by Scheelhaase's TD run at the end of the game. I loved the play call. Zooker should be using the RB situation as a huge selling point in recruiting. Pierre Thomas, Mendenhall and now Leshoure. I think he's got a chance (depending on the team that drafts him obviously) to be the same kind of back as those guys - very powerful, difficult to tackle, and just enough speed to get past guys. Leshoure reminded me a lot last night of Mendenhall in the Rosebowl. Good win for Illinois. Still not all jazzed about Zook coming back next year, but s***, had they not imploded at the end of the season this is a 10+ win team this year. I dare say the experiment of the two big time coordinators and Zook as the recruiting coordinator worked out pretty well. They'll lose some guys to the NFL, but I think there's a ton of talent on this team, and Scheelhaase appears to be a legit QB. If he continues to develop it'll be a fun couple of years in Champaign.

clyons Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:57 AM) I dont think anyone can classify a team that is outside the top 10 as being a really good team anymore. The past few years it seems that 2 or 3 teams are "top tier" and then it gets jumbled. I'll put my 2 cents behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a correct PF, but I don't think that was a catch. Tennessee is the unluckiest team. When the ref says 'the game is over' and you lose, wow. Also, woo Big 12. Though, I gotta say I loved Nebraska losing, the conference is stinking it up against inferior competition. If ever there was a game that proved how BS bowl games are it's the Holiday Bowl. Nebraska clearly was better and f***ed Washington in Washington this year and lost in the bowl. Bowl games are exhibitions. Don't evaluate teams on them.

The game ain't over until it is over. Yeah, I agree. I think his celebration was a little overboard at the end, but I've never seen him do anything like that before. Clearly his emotions got the best of him, but I'll chalk that up to him being a TRUE freshman. He's 18. I'd rather he show a little confidence/cockiness, though, than mope around so I'll take it even if it was dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised this isn't getting more play, but a reporter in the press box is saying that after the game, the UNC coaches "sprinted out of the box screaming 'Sloppy Top, Sloppy Top, you'll always be assholes to me!' You want to talk about disappointing? That's absurd and incredibly immature. Aren't coaches supposed to act with a little more class than that?

Look what he's done with the Chiefs in his only year there. Offense was never the problem at ND, and he certainly had really good offenses with the Patriots. He does a phenomenal job with QBs and brings a ton of experience to Florida. You give him the talent at Florida combined with his offensive system/know-how... It's scary.
