On the flip side - a QB that is a threat to throw (aka Peters) will open up the run game. Teams are just stacking the box against us right now and Epstein and Brown, while they may rip one occasionally - are being met in the backfield an awful lot. Peters is a decent runner as well.The running game by Brown was opened up by IW’s ability to run also. Peter’s just lost his job if we want to have a functioning offense imo
That pretty well covers it.Rutgers: "You take the win"
Illinois: "No, you take the win"
Rutgers: "No, really, you take the win"
Illinois: "Ok"
Haa haa.... Go Penn State! Ouch that stings! 0-ferOne team remains winless in the B1G...and it isn't Illinois!
I'd argue our best chance to win is Isaiah Williams!Feel like IW should start moving forward, he’s our QB of the future imo. But suspect that Lovie is in win-now mode, so BP will be back out there
“We’re playing for next year”? Who is we? Team’s not playing for next year. I hate when college fans say this. I mean I understand most fans have written off this year, but the players deserve to have the best players out there that give the team the best chance to win each game. If that is IW, then by all means he should start. But if not he shouldn’t start just to get him experience for next year.I’m on the IW band wagon. We’re playing for next year so let’s get him some experience.
This probably is the only win we get this year, can't we just enjoy it?Most of you are way more optimistic than I am. Good for you. I just can’t get there. If Rutgers plays an even halfway competent 2nd half we lose. They gave us chance after chance and credit to the guys, they finally took it. IW made some impressive runs for sure but he has to be better at passing to be successful at this level. I like the kid, I‘m just not sure he’s the answer for all this team is lacking. I really don’t know who gives us a better chance against Nebby but if Peters struggles, I expect the leash to be short.
Everyone gets to play in a bowl this year!Will 4-5 get us a bowl game? Asking for a friend!!!!
Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!Win now mode isn’t with Brandon Peters and if you think it is.....well good luck. I’m all in on the IW train. Let him sling it a little more. Dude is electric.
I did not expect to see Reilly O'Football on this list.
