Timing everything for Zook

The elephant in the corner just raised his trunk. But he hasn't trumpeted yet.

The big fellow was aroused by consecutive UI football losses to Ohio State and Purdue, but he won't express himself until he gets more information from Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Come late November, the discussion will leave the corner of the room and take center stage. Is seventh-year coach Ron Zook the right leader for Illinois football in the future? Whether it is fans or stay-at-homes, spoken or unspoken, this subject dominates the collective mind. Any discussion of Illini football winds up there.
