[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1819461, member: 2886"] I hear you but we've got let it slide and buck up. The program is making huge strides much earlier than I expected. That they were so competitive today on the road against #3 even with all the injuries we've suffered on both sides of the ball is remarkable. I'll re-post the blurb from the end of the MGoBlog analysis of our offense earlier in the week. This is what we need to focus on IMO. That and hanging 50 on Northwestern next week, with Chase racking up 180 yards. [I]Watching Illinois this week I found myself believing even more in Bert's project in Champaign, despite already being this site's resident Bert believer to begin with. They don't quite have the ideal horses up front yet- the run blocking was just alright and Brown does quite a bit of work to help make the run offense effective- but the concepts are there.
