So what do we know about what type of offense and defense that Illinois will be running this year given the coaching change?

I’m concerned about Frost’s coaching staff’s ability to make mid game adjustments.
 
Bret Bielma their coach played college ball at Iowa, coached at Wisconsin. He fully understands B1G style of play, physical O line and D line. He would relish another beat down of Nebraska like he did with Wisconsin, but I don’t think that will happen this year. Brett with his weightC88A96DE-D805-48AC-B59C-02BEBF8FD5AA.jpeg looks like he is ready to go to Market.
 
I don't think Brett is a good match for Illinois.

He blew it going to Arkansas. But we'll see. Zebras don't change their stripes, and he knew how to beat NU, so....

Brett had the right talent at Wisky to execute his style of play. He did open up the offense at Arky to try and keep up in the SEC but I don't think he could get enough talent to compete with the better SEC teams.
With no Barry Alvarez helping - can Brett get the talent he needs at Ill.? Probably - Lovey had some good players. But it likely will take a few seasons to get enough talent to win with any consistency in the B1G. Coaching has gotten better since Brett left - so the bar is higher.
 
Brett McMurphy: Does college football national reporter Brett McMurphy have more coming on his Nebraska story? Or was his Wednesday story the only thing he had at this time?

The thing I'm most interested in is the alleged illegal workouts he talked about. There is currently no type of investigation going on about that with the NCAA, and that was an awfully strong thing to put in print if you didn't have evidence to support it.

from the article... Weird
 
Scott is screwed no matter. He can't get $ with a "Go Fund Me", because he doesn't need it.
