Can't blame the refs for this brutal kicking game though. Why even attempt those 40 + yarders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Classic illinois football: force a fumble, recover, fumble yourself and lose it. Would've been a turnover on downs and instead they get the ball back and have 2 huge plays and eventually score. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatnom Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If they could hit a field goal, or if they called the pass interference on the interception, we'd be right in it. Oh well, at least we didn't look like a terrible football team today. Progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad teams miss kicks and fumble at bad times.There were extra practices, maybe they can grow, but ultimately, they won't be good until they get a different coach.

But, for better or for worse, we're stuck with him for one more year. I'll settle for not embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Illinois has two good running backs if not one that's real good but just a horrifically bad quarterback. That's not a recipe for success. Also the defense is really badly coached. I'm not sure it's a talent issue as much as scheme and assignments.

I'm curious how the recruiting class changes now. I don't follow college recruiting outside of Chicago so wouldn't even know the kids they do get outside a few. Sounds like the Florida DC is coming with and possibly Wheatley, who I didn't even know was coaching. Edited December 28, 2014 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He watched his brother John and Pete Carroll win the Lombardi. He's staying in the NFL. Michigan had to leak that number to show their fan base that the offer was made. Looks like you were wrong.

LittleHurt05 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So in the East you have Meyer, D'Antonio, Franklin, and Harbaugh. In the West, you have Kill, Riley, Ferentz, & Beckham. It's the SEC, just East/West flip flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
