There is no way our offensive or defensive lines will be good enough to sniff 10-11 wins next year. These are very experienced groups this year, and they are still getting dominated.
Be Patient - Remember Rhule's Rebuild Formula
- Thread starter Landomatic
- Start date
Agreed. We will need serious transfer portal additions on both lines if we want to have 10 wins next year
They teed off? Maybe in OT, but not throughout the game. I do agree we have to run the ball more, but also can’t always be so predictable
Yep. A couple WR, couple OL and DL. Maybe a CB and new LB. Thompson stinks.. at least so far
Yeah, Illinois is not that good. 8 wins would be phenomenal for them.
I disagree. IL is better at DB, WR, K (by a lot), and OL. It's probably equal at RB, and close to that at QB, DL, and TE. I don't think we lost to a bad team. But yes, this game was winnable and should have been. I'm frustrated with our OL and running game and defense as a whole. Kicker we'll have to live with until the off-season unless the soccer team has one.
I agree with K. The rest I’ll agree to disagree. I think Burt gets more out of his players and lets them play an aggressive man defense rather than our BS cover four pillow top coverage
In the sense of a long term, been there, done that program, Baylor doesn’t compare. Sure, most recently everyone is better than Nebraska.
Can't put what happened from 2018 to 2022 on him. If you don't wanna give him time you might wanna find a new team. It was never gonna be a quick fix. I actually think he's ahead of schedule tbh.
Holla
Some of you guys are really throwing a tantrum like a toddler. Expecting a coach to take a program that hasn’t been to a bowl game in 8 years to being a top 20 team in year two is ridiculous. We lack talent. That isn’t a two year fix. Get a grip. Or should we fire Rhule midway through year two for a single loss? Everyone wants to bitch and complain, no one has a solution. No one actually wants to follow through and do something about what they deem as unacceptable. You’re just here to blow off steam and blame someone.
I think we had enough talent to beat Illinois but we made too many unforced errors. Offsides, facemasj, hands to the face etc..,,missed field goal, missed wide open TE for a TD….😕
I don't see people panicking. I do see people wanting to win, winnable games at home. It's not unreasonable in year 2.
No team plays perfect football. Is it a coaches fault Dylan missed on a throw? Those things happen. We had enough talent to beat Illinois. We don’t have enough talent to overwhelm Illinois. They had matchup advantages and exploited them. We have players that have shit the bed in every close game the last 5 years.
All of that aside; what is the point of the post? Rhule and co suck? Should we fire them? What are you driving at? Or are you just complaining, like I said above?
Just think where we would be without the portal wide receivers. This like the old days of only recruiting high school or CC kids. I don’t think the disappointment is on a loss but how it happened and who the team was. I am not calling for Rhule but think back a few coaches and how patient everyone was. The patience is thin and when people see the past repeat itself, it is disconcerting.
