[QUOTE="illini80, post: 1670292, member: 2241"] It’s still frustrating. Ain’t nobody happy. BUT, many of us said going in that even if we didn’t win as many games as hoped, we needed to at least look competitive for a change. So I decided to look back at last year and see if we have made any real progress. 7 game season last year and 9 games so far this year. 2020 - Opponents avg score = 35.9 vs Illinois avg score of 21.6 Difference of 14.3 per game 2021 - Opponents avg score = 23.3 vs Illinois avg score of 17.5 Difference of 5.8 per game Looking at conference games only: 2021 - Opponents avg score = 19.5 vs Illinois avg score of 15.0 Difference of 4.5 per game While we are all thinking of what could have been, we are in a much better place than 1 year ago. I would argue if you put BheBhe back on this team our offense could/would/should be better than last years. Point being, we have made progress and shouldn’t lose sight of that. We shouldn’t be satisfied either, but to say (as I have) its the same ole thing just isn’t fair to the players or staff. I believe we will get there. And of course we won’t be satisfied then either, but that’s another discussion. [/QUOTE]
