I read somewhere that Illinois had a total of 7 first downs in thier rivalry game with NW the last game of the season. I havn't researched this, but if true, this is atrocious. Your last game, a rivalry game, and the ineptness is staggering. It also shows little improvement, which goes to the coaching of the atheletes. Zook may have a good year recruiting; he may land 4 or 5 highly sought after recruits, but, can anyone argue that thier performance on the field has remained pitiful. Zook has had two years to show some improvement. The team started out bad, and ended worse. If I am from Illinois and want to play immediately - where do I go? Many of the posters on this board could garner playing time with the Illini program. I hope the 'sky is falling croud' doesn't get too upset with the recruiting aspects of Illinois.
Didn't NorthWestern have one of Div. 1's worst defenses?
