Our secondary will very likely be depleted on January 2nd. We'll also be without at least two defensive coaches. Not sure Vegas has yet factored this into the spread.
I'll be at the game, but if I were a betting man, I'd have to go with the cowbells.
ILL !!!
Y'all lost your DC I think, and we lost our OC for all practical purposes ( Leach, may he RIP)....looks like Steve Spurrier Jr. will be calling plays which he has never done. It may be an audition for him for that job. So both teams kind of hamstrung.
Who you calling crazy baw?
No way Spurrier Jr gets the OC IMO.
But we shall see.

Remember Spurrier’s kid being a hot name around 3-4 years ago but haven’t heard about him since.

My contrarian take for this site, I love those jerseys. Silver and Navy are a great color scheme. However, need to sneak in some orange though.

I completely agree. It's a great look with some orange accents.

I dig those
We too were at that game in 1982. The temperature was in the 20's at kickoff. Besides the two unflagged late hits on Eason and the cold I also remember well the hit Jeremiah Castille put on Tim Brewster. The stadium was packed and loud but that hit could be clearly heard above the crowd noise.Yes, I was at that game with my brother and 2 friends. Drove there from Illinois. Froze our b***s off. Very damp and cold. We went down for some refreshments before the game and saw the limo pull up with BB. He and some attendants walked right passed us. He looked very ill. I believe he passed shortly after this game was played. And yes, two obvious late hits on Eason when the team was driving toward a touchdown. Followed by an interception which changed the outcome of the game. The luck of the Illini.
BB lived just 4 weeks following the '82 Liberty Bowl.
welp, we were hoping to get McCray some work so here we go. Maybe Laughery can get some reps too
I would not anticipate McCray doing much. If he has been hurt badly enough to not practice or play all season, I doubt he will be a workhorse here. Let the players who practiced all year carry the load.
I admit it, I liked them once a year.
I mean yeah, if he's not healthy don't play him. If he was as "close" as BB says he was a few months ago, and he's back to full strength now, getting some work in a bowl game could be a nice opportunity to give him some confidence going into next season.
Bielema will play whoever gives us our best chance to win, regardless of who practiced all year. Considering it doesn’t count against his redshirt, I see Josh getting 12-15 totes, and Love getting equal amount. I think Devito has an excellent last game. And I am eager to see what the secondary looks like without Spoon and Sydney. Strain is back, no Jennings. Young bucks will step in and get many reps. I.E. McCantos and Scott.
