[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1330256, member: 9817"] NJILLINI... how many fall practices did you attend? In practice, almost every single day, Crouch threw INT's to our young D, failed to make short to medium throws, and looked very good running the ball. Crouch has some pro's and some con's. When your QB's con is that he doesn't throw the ball consistently well, then that MIGHT be a problem. It's not that he's the wrong QB, he's just not great at throwing the ball. USF gave everyone playing us going forward the way to beat us. Spy the QB, put 6-7 players in the running box and don't give the QB time to make a read/throw. Done deal. We don't have the size/experience to protect our QB and we don't have the size/experience to dictate that we'll run the ball well regardless. We're going to have to play youth, hit the weight room, get older, get more experienced, and get bigger/faster/meaner. We'll be better next year than we are this year. In the fall of 2019 we should be experienced and mean as hell. It's OUR job, to support the staff and these kids while they put in all the hard work and take their lumps on the field. Those kids didn't give up when they were down in the second half of the first game, they fought. Why are Illini fans such wussies that they start whining and crying at the first sign of hard work?
