    Bielema and Illinois

    Are just having their way with Tennessee. He always has a physical OL. I have always enjoyed watching his offense, bc of the physicality. He?s had like 10 plus 1k yd rushers too. Toss in a dual threat QB with some solid wr and a few te?s, and he will produce. Before you get your dick hair in a tangle, I LOVE the physicality. When you have a group of OL that have the ?nasty?, then you will be successful!!

    If Lebby could find those type of OL, he could be really successful at MSU.

    Altmeyer and the Illini about to crush the soul of the Rocky Top faithful. Heupel would end 8-5, the most losses since his first year in 2021. Gonna need that Prep H for that hot seat.

    I really liked Arkansas's offense he had in 2015. It was pro style but with tons of play action and motion and he had a QB that could move in the pocket and make plays. Did things under center and in the gun. Really well balanced and very explosive.

    I really thought he would have been successful at Arkansas. His style of football fits them. It was puzzling to me that it didn't work out.

    I think he had recruiting issue if I remember correctly that came back to bite him.

    That happens most of the time for college football coaches.

    If he could have combined that 2015 offense with the 2014 defense from the year before he would have won 10+ games. Just never could get over the hump in close games. Lost to Alabama on a missed extra point lol

    We don't play power football when it comes to running the ball. Lebby's offenses have never been a smash mouth, drive you off the ball type offense. It is something I miss, and I hope that since we will now have a run first QB, I hope it is something we incorporate more of.

    Not every run play has to have some pass option.

    I've always been a Belima fan ... nobody ever had Illinois competitive before. Ron Zook gave them a little bump but not for long
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Did any of yall ever stop to think about any of this before you start? There is a reason we are doing what we are doing. We literally don’t have the horses to even consider that and haven’t since before 2019. What you can do is determine by what you have.

    There's no one in the sec playing Utah/iowa/byu type of football. I absolutely agree our current personnel would suck fierce at this style; they suck doing this too though. I do think if Lebby fails, we should consider doing something the other sec teams aren't. Power football seems like a decent bet when all the sec defenses are gearing up to stop fast break offenses with smaller, faster defenders

    I get what you’re saying. You do realize that Iowa probably ran 30 or more RPO’s today. It’s a huge part of the game that works. What you can really do with it is dictated by the players on your roster.
