The game is about offense. Brohm is an offensive guy. Leach is an offensive guy. Babers is an offensive guy. Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich, Holgerson, etc. When you hire a defensive coach as HC, the program is at the mercy of a good OC hanging around. Holocek may be able to get his feet wet as a LB...

I do not know if he was in attendance. It was a pre-recorded video they threw up on the video board, though.

Outside of trivial analysis, the two opening games are not alike. At no time last year did Illinois dominate Ball State. Illinois dominated the entire 2nd half against KSU. Just take a look at the numbers- Illinois got lucky beating Ball State last year. BSU 21 1st downs to UI 14. BSU 12-21 on...

Not exercising option on Hammel-

There's no such thing as a curse. Exhibit A: Chicago Cubs

Game 5, if necessary, is why you work your butt of to get HFA.

It isn't "prevalent with fans". Clementz didn't get a roughing penalty this week. Why would he be benched? Whatever was said to him worked.

He hit a nerve, because his work ethic as a coach was called into question. It doesn't have jack to do with truth, but yes, they will get it done.

You didn't find the right data. You compared other programs to Illinois, not each program to itself from the previous year's staff.

Ah. So Lovie has them working on excessive celebrations and targeting in practice, so he can call those plays on game day. Got it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
