[QUOTE="drwillini, post: 1324094, member: 7762"] I think we keep Crouch, Dudek and a couple top RBs healthy all year we can be close to 0.500. Like somebody said earlier, a WR like Dudek that stretches the field, and a QB that is not afraid to tuck it if there is nothing there REALLY keeps the defense honest. But like so many past Illini teams, we have no margin for error. We are pinning our hopes on a QB that was healthy for one start, and a WR that has missed both of last seasons. My heart says no problem, my head says don't get your hopes up. This season is worth a lot. If for some reason we stay healthy, we are rolling. This current recruiting class looks to be a lot like last years, both an upgrade in talent, especially on the lines. So far Lovie is recruiting on his reputation and playing time, and laying a foundation. Some W/L momentum will be huge in the next class. Putting three good classes back to back will get us there. Capping two good classes with a great class will have us competing in the West a year later, when the great class are sophs and redshirt freshmen. Tighten your seat belts. This is looking like the 80s to me in football and basketball. [/QUOTE]
