I'm so glad I decided to step away from the scout board until after the season. I can only imagine the clown show that place is right now.

I'm not all that worried. What I saw looked like complacency. Coach wants an angry football team and I didn't see it today until late in the 4th after the first Hyde run. Hopefully this game lit a fire for next week.

Wrong glass, Sir.
But that's precisely the problem. Coach wanted something, and they didn't respond. How do we know that they could somehow magically turn that switch on against an Alabama or Stanford?
Great teams know how to sweep the leg in the second half.

Hyde knows how to sweep the leg. I believe that Brax, Guiton and a few others know how to sweep the leg. Unfortunately, I see a lot of starters on this team who don't know how to sweep the leg. I see them saying, "but Sensei....". We've seen it in multiple games. There is no killer instinct. This isn't Wall Street. You don't get to take your winnings home before the wheel stops spinning.

FSU is winning 58-0 right now and embarrassing Syracuse (comparable to Illinois really) and have done that all season. I'm sure we can matchup with FSU but when you need arbitrary distinctions, then this does not help. While occasionally we turn on the switch, we have admittedly not been consistent. If there was a way for Illinois to have negative points against FSU, that is how much FSU would have given up in that game. I believe in this team 100% to take on FSU or Bama when they are focused but unfortunately, you have to be focused every game to get that opportunity.

Next week Alabama plays...Chattanooga. Where is the outrage over that scheduling genius? God, I hate the fucking SEC

Well when Bama or FSU loses, we'll find out how focused this team is in a NC.
If you look at UFM's 2006 UF team's scores from that year, you'll see that while the competition was tougher, they occasionally played down to the opponent. The biggest difference is that they lost a game. This team hasn't. I've yet to see a CFB team play lights out for an entire season while winning every game. I don't expect this year to be different.
There is a 36% chance of both Bama and FSU to go undefeated, not including the BCS of course.

I won't name names, but there are two players who I expected to really step into leadership roles both with their play and with the intangibles of true leadership, yet I see both of them pretty much going tthrough the motions until they head off to the draft.
The younger d linemen shouldn't be expected to fill that role. To the contrary, they should be afforded the luxury right now of feeding off that upperclassman leadership and just focusing on their game.
