It's crazy to think we could be 5-2 and ranked right now with a competent QB.

Bad guys- 38
Good guys- 3

Not gonna say Bret Bielema is wrong, but he could have just said "We'll be trying some position changes" and leave it at that.

He's right, but it's not a great look imo and doesn't account for all the loses we've had especially after looking decent in flashes.

What could these be? A D lineman moving to OL? Who are the Tackles in our 2 Deep now? Pearl and ???

BB sounds like BU during his first/second year. He realizes we have gaps and the changes are going to be that players transfer out. I think you will see many immediate players elgible with 1-2 years come in from programs much better than ours.

I kinda get the feeling he is more talking changing players at a given position, not moving players from one position to another.
Qb change? Give art primary preparation.
Maybe move palcho to guard, pearl to tackle?
Need to do something at left guard.
Shammond cooper time?
Beason in rotation?

Rotate some younger guys throughout the game in offense and defense. Preserve redshirts though.
That’s all I got.

I don't think the job is worse than Bret thought, I think he thought he would get more out of his super seniors. Let's be real there was a reason Lovie got fired. I feel for those kids. I especially feel for Peters and his decline from 2019 to 2021 will be one of the hardest Illini careers for me to understand and get over. He showed legitimate flashes in 2019.

Cooper was a huge recruit, haven’t heard anything about him since. Is he even playing? Also, give me anybody else at QB against Penn State

What is up with Collier? Is he still in the QB room?

Did everyone catch this? Is this a Coach Bielema motivational ploy or is he serious?
