[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1793363, member: 4716"] Finally, after a decade or more of chasing the tail of the B1G, BB has assembled some talent and is coaching them on how to win. The program is a long way from contending for the playoffs, but they to have the ability to contend for the West Div. title. Certainly not a favorite, but could be a contender. Love DeVito, Brown, Williams and Randolph as we all do....but they need to be the standard at all positions....and that is not a profound statement as any Illini fan knows the score. But it is refreshing to see the team win, against any level of competition, and they should be undefeated if they had simply kept their heads from blowing up against the Hoosiers. Blunders cause losses, and that loss was blundered away big time. But there the staff seems to have pointed that out and players seem to have taken notice. The talent is there to win against any West Div. team, but the focus and discipline need to exceed the talent of each player for the team to be big winners....and than can be. But will they be? It is pretty much their decision. Meanwhile, the Illini finally have a football coach and staff who know how to win. It may take as much as 5 or more years of steadily raising the talent level before they can surprise OSU, but Michigan, Penn State, and MSU should not feel comfortable coming to Champaign in the near future. Kudos to the players....but remember you are not the first guy to make a sack, TD, catch a long pass, or run for 40 yds....so act like its no big deal and do it again. Keep looking up and Go Illini!!
