The gift that keeps on giving...

With all this being said, I do think they will surprise this year and I'm hoping for 10 wins as well. Juice is a senior throwing to arguably the best WR corp in the B10 (And among the best in the country), the RB's look good and the offensive line has talent and a little depth. The defense is the question, but in experience only. They may have to outscore opponents early, but they are more than capable. The defense just depends on how guys keep developing in their new spots. Martez looks like the next beast in the middle at linebacker. He's not completely there yet but he is getting there. I also read your post about not having a single D1 LB and I disagree. There are some potential big timers with more experience. The DL has Pilcher and some solid ends including Jerry Brown (Big time potential) if he can get his academics straight. When Brent comes back, he and Corey Liuget will form a top DT tandem. There's just a whole lot of athleticism and potential for the defense. The good thing is, as OSU showed a few years ago, a defense can learn very quickly despite inexperience. I think/hope the Illinois defense will learn very quickly.
