[QUOTE="BananaShampoo, post: 1199045, member: 3403"] I think that losing as much as we did on defense (Jihad Ward, Neal, etc) is going to hurt more than you think. Also, just the time it's going to take to learn a new system. I don't see us pulling off an upset against UNC, nor MSU, but I can at least see us being competitive against them and pulling off W's against Wiscy or NW late in the season. 6-6 for this season is a realistic expectation, and if we can win a minor bowl game with that I think we'd all call the season a success. One thing is for sure and that is that Lovie will get the most out of what talent he has, and that's really exciting for when we start reeling in higher level kids (which WILL happen). Hell of an exciting time to be an Illini fan! :shield: [/QUOTE]
