I'm old school -- I think a LOT depends on how good the O line is. That sets up everything. Rushing game last year was poor, esp due to multiple injuries. Luke tried to do too much. Etc. If we can establish a decent running game, throw when we want to not when we have to, we can be a pretty good team.
If they can avoid any more key injuries, this team has the ability to beat Kansas, upset Michigan and win all the winnable conference games on the way to 8+ wins.
Bet on the over at Caesar’s Palace in April when it was set at 5.5- still probably a flip of a coin if it is 5 or 6 wins but betting on health, QB protection and winning the turnover battle

We’re going to beat someone we weren’t supposed to. 8-4
Odd that once again that the starting QB isn't voted Captain. This is 2 years in a row. We will see how this plays out.
Horrible coach.. glad hes not in Arkansas anymore. Cant win against good teams.. maybe he can outcoach Chattanooga or Wyoming.
Illini lucky to win 5 games this year...back to mediocrity...per the norm
Wow. Debby downer. I’m hoping six six.
