[QUOTE="illini80, post: 1812595, member: 2241"] For those with very short term memories, we lost our best deep threat in Spann, our most reliable 3rd down receiver in Barker, and 6 out of 13 touchdown receptions. What exactly were you expecting? Sorry, but I’ve gotten annoyed with all the carping about Lunney since the MSU game. I think he’s done a fine job and that doesn’t mean perfect or there’s not room for improvement. From the article linked above: “Lunney has improved Illinois' yards per game by 83.3 from last season, the biggest improvement in the Big Ten by more than 20 yards.“ “Illinois has made tremendous year-over-year improvement in the national rankings on offense, jumping 121 spots in completion percentage (3rd from 124th), 74 spots in passing efficiency (47th from 121st), and 59 spots in yards per game (53rd from 112th). With Lunney's quick-paced and efficient offense, Illinois has become the most improved passing team in the country with a 20+% improvement in completion percentage, by far the best in the nation.“ [/QUOTE]
