[QUOTE="KevinC, post: 1419437, member: 5621"] The simple answer is that they throw the ball. All of these no name teams that everyone is pointing out (including Purdue) throw the football.A team needs older, stronger guys with quick feet if that teams wants to run against 8 and 9 man fronts. These kids don't even have the experience of knowing where to look next, once a play has started. Illinois fans beg us to run it on every down and, in most games, that is what we have been doing. Don't be such hypocrites that you are getting what you are asking for but, then compare it to teams that throw the ball. Next year with more of our O line being juniors we might see what everyone seems to so desperately desire (running the ball). A passing attack may not be super successful every game but, one gives a team a chance every game. I have to admit that I am disappointed in Bush's reads and selfishness. But, this may be something that his OC has been harping upon him doing. Everyone here wants to fire Lovie just as he is about to get the experienced and strong type of players that he is recruiting for. So much nonsense. [/QUOTE]
