Good chance of getting 40% of the O line back. We are probably going to be pretty awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just took a look at our roster on fi.com. Out of 21 offensive linemen, there are 3 seniors and 1 junior. The rest are sophomores and freshmen. When BB talked about losing two committed transfers and a lack of depth he wasn't kidding.I might have bought that line after Florida Atlantic. Even against a subpar opponent the offense managed to execute in spots and you could imagine that there was a base to build on. But that won't fly after what we saw against Nebraska. Hardly anything worked against the Huskers. The offense clearly regressed and I doubt that all of what went wrong can be fixed in a week.
Oh well, I'm mostly here for hoops anyway...
Great nameI want to believe a turnaround of some kind is possible, but there's just so little you can do when your offensive line is getting rolled like this. We've already shuffled some people around looking for answers and it just seems like there's no lineup we can make from the players on our roster that blocks well enough to open up the playbook meaningfully.
Maybe Feagin can be Chase Brown, But Large.

I still can't figure out why Jordan Slalughter was pulling on 4th and goal from the 6" line.lol. I called it last week: the next memorable BLJ quote would effectively be "mistakes were made."
Illinois offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr. addressed the early play calling and being stopped in the red zone.
"Obviously, when you look back at things with hindsight, you say, well, was this the right call? We felt good about the call. And we didn't execute when we needed to execute.
