College football hall of fame about to get 11 new defensive inductees.How about: Will the defense have more interception and fumble recovery return yards than the offense has receiving yards?

Okay, you're right.You might need to start with another position that won't have 99% of the people with the same answer lol. Its Isaiah barring an injury
I guarantee we are better than 82nd. With a better OC, improved QB play and great RB's we should be at least in the 50s or 60s.
A better question could be who leads the team in receiving touchdowns...Alright, time for predictions:
Which Illini player will have the most receiving yards this season?
Providing we have the running attack we all expect, what are the min stats we need from QB position to exceed expectations (bowl 6-7+wins) this year? I'll go low 3k yards ~20 tds under 7 interceptions.A better question could be who leads the team in receiving touchdowns...
here's a prediction for receivers and backs
C Brown. 1100
J McCray 600
I. Williams 900yds 5 TD
C Washington 400 4 TD
P Bryant 300 2 TD
L Ford 300 4 TD
After those 4 receivers, I don't expect anyone over 200 yds. Case, Hightower, and Morris, and my sleeper guy... Tip Reiman
Tip is big in the blocking game so, id say he wont catch many passes but I'm tellin ya he's going to be big for us.
Ouch, they ranked Northern Illinois 12 teams ahead of us.
This is why they actually play the games!Ouch, Northern Illinois is 12 teams ahead of us.
Pretty excited to see how these guys develop after Kerby's breakout last year. Alot can be said for quality of our DB coaching - being in the right place and playing fast. Tackling was much improved last year, too. Gotta keep the momentum...
This has got to be the least bulletin board worthy material ever.Wyoming coach stirring the pot already...
"Bohl said his counterpart, Bret Bielema, even mispronounced the name of the Illini’s opponent recently.
“It was interesting, and I will show this to our players, sometimes you do lay in the weeds,” Bohl said. “The University of Illinois coach made a statement that they are playing Week 0 and they’re opening up against Wy-ami. And I went, ‘Wy-ami?’
“He said it, it’s going to go up on the bulletin boards, and football is not too far away.”
Well when Miami’s in the big ten we’ll schedule them every year!Perhaps next year we should schedule Id-ami, working our way up to Mi-ami.
In the 247 preseason rankings Illinois is 12 spots ahead of Wyoming. Wyoming has 1 losing season in last 5-6 years. Wyoming had a huge turnover in the portal this offseason but watch out they added some guys as well from the likes of Bama, USC, Michigan St, etc. Wyoming lost both QBs in the transfer portal so hopefully the guys they did land aren't diamonds in the rough.Ouch, they ranked Northern Illinois 12 teams ahead of us.

in theory , we should win by 14.In the 247 preseason rankings Illinois is 12 spots ahead of Wyoming. Wyoming has 1 losing season in last 5-6 years.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we won or lost that game. Wyoming has been way more competitive than us lately. Illinois should ground and pound and put pressure on inexperienced QB situation for them. Guessing the results of an Illinois football game is like playing Roulette. We have some inexperience in areas but hopefully the place will be hopping and the DeVito swagger will be contagious.in theory , we should win by 14.
that said , watch us win by 3 , with those three points being scored on our last possession
I agree, though the board does get pretty riled up sometimes when someone calls us Illinoise or, heaven forbid, a recruit call us Illinois University.This has got to be the least bulletin board worthy material ever.
Unfortunately, the conference commissioner also called us Illinois University.I agree, though the board does get pretty riled up sometimes when someone calls us Illinoise or, heaven forbid, a recruit call us Illinois University.
