Yeah, yeah, yeah. All that's fine, but no, hook up your Orange Koolaid IV in your right arm and Blue Koolaid in your left and see how the Fighting Illini go 10-0 in 2017. It could happen. opcorn:
12-0.

Glad to hear the freshmen talent level isn't all hype.Need to land stud qb soon. Lovie did well with the bears with average qb but we are not near average at that position.

Well then in this scenario, wouldn't we be 15-0? Why sell ourselves short at 12-0?
The article didn't address the B1G championship game, which, would be a more thorough pounding of tOSU. Followed by a surprising 4 seed in the bowl championship series, despite being the only undefeated team in the country, to play Alabama in the semis. After that victory, we will beat USC, payback for the Rose Bowl! Amazingly, we will be down for much of the game, when Jeff George Jr throws a pass off of the fingertips of a USC safety, rebound caught by Dudek, who runs in for the winning score!

I've read that Bennett Williams is going to be a starting safety.. didn't two freshman start at safety last year and the staff was pleased with them? Which one is getting bumped out of the starting spot and can they play another position in the D?

Illinois football posts clip from BTN on Crouch as a potential sneaky good QB on the rise this year.
According to Robert from IlliniBoard, it is Stanley Green who is getting bumped. Patrick Nelson and Bennett Williams are starting in practice at the moment. Stanley played well last year, so it must be that Bennett is simply playing at an even higher level. Encouraging in my opinion as long as Stanley does not get discouraged.
Keep in mind that Green is suspended for the first half of the game against Ball St. because he was ejected from last year's game against Northwestern. This may be why Williams is getting first string reps over Green.
I hate to be a buzzkill, but that should have been a pick. Sure, though, I'm glad that we have got receivers with hands again.

Come on everyone.
It's man to man coverage which means when the defender turns it's back to the QB to run with the WR, the QB can throw what's called the "back shoulder throw"
Yes the ball is a little low but Smith made a great adjustment to make a play.
When the QB sees its man to man the defender will not know the ball has been thrown until the WR turns back to make a play on the ball. The reaction window for the defender to be running with WR and be able to somehow turn completely around to make a play on the ball when the WR turns is very very difficult.
You see this play all the time (think packers and Mr. Rodgers do it the best) also you seen it near the goalie in college and NFL.
The fact the George Jr has the accuracy/timing/ and then confidence to throw this AND and freshman WR to be able to adapt to make a play on the ball at the last second is a Phenomenal play by all.
I don't see the confusion by some of you that think this was a "lucky play" or a badly thrown ball.
Well yeah, that's what I meant to say. You just said is so much better. :thumb:

Robert's updated depth chart. The biggest intrigue is who starts game 1 on both lines. I'm cheering for a Boyd-Megginson-Kramer-Allegretti-DiLauro offensive line; on the defensive line I like the lineup they have listed but definitely want to see Carney, Roundtree, and Green get significant tick in the rotation. The secondary is also interesting: who is the starter once Stanley Green is off suspension, him or Bennett? Both will play.
This team is at least slightly better than most fans' perceptions right now, IMO.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm hyped to see Phillips as the starting SLB. I think he will be the guy who finally makes tackles hard enough to push the ball carrier backward.
