[QUOTE="tyrannosaurus scorus, post: 1328768, member: 12720"] I still expect a long season, but came away very impressed with last night's performance, especially all the young freshmen and the overall game plan and playcallingn by the coaching staff. Roundtree and Gay are both really athletic ends and with added muscle, should form the basis of a formidable defense over the next few years. Thought the freshman corners played really well as well, and it will be interesting to see how the defense evolves as they face more balanced attacks moving forward. The young offensive linemen also impressed, and enough has already been said about Epstein. I can't remember so many young players gelling and performing at this level at Illinois since I've followed Illinois sports (31 years old). I was really disillusioned with Crouch's first half play, but he really carried the team in the 2nd half and managed the game well despite the interception. I think McGee called a nice second half and should look to capitalize on his running abilities more in upcoming games as he made good reads with the read option. This gives defenses more to plan for which I hope will open up the passing game a bit more. [/QUOTE]
