QB Armstrong was in a bad situation this year. Went from a solid head coach to a first year coach with Elliott. O-Line was horrendous and Brennan was running all over the place. Bottom 30 rushing team mixed with bottom 15 sacks allowed and time of possession. Those areas are where Illinois excels. Ton of QBs in the transfer portal will fit into the Illinois system.

agree

would be nice to get one of the big names , but that isnt always a sure thing. I do like me some Cade McNamara or Hudson Card, tho.

Watching Armstrong's highlights from 2021....only knock I can think of to not go after him is he would be another 1-year guy.

Right now, what needs to happen first: (1) upgrade our receiving corps; or (2) bring in a quality transfer QB?

Yeah, and I seem to remember the announcers saying that Elliott had changed the offensive philosophy from the prior year (not surprising for a new coach), and VA didn’t seem to have the personnel for the new offense. Didn’t see him play except for against Illini, and hard to hold this year’s performance in that game given the Illini’s D.

I asked the question poorly. Are quality QB transfers willing to look at us with our current projected receiving corps then?
Well if McNamara is indeed going to Iowa, I’d say yea they are. What does Iowa have in the way of receivers that is better than the Illini have other than their TE? And I believe he’ll be gone.

Damn, we did a great job on #2 this year with Devito, hoping we are going to get even better options this year....

The WR/TE group is much better than going into the 2022 season.

Hightower
Bryant
Washington
Williams
Beatty
Reiman

Would love to find a guy to stretch the field but it's not likely to be a star. Might have to find an FCS/G5 star who wants a bigger stage.
