So... yeah... the Lovie "coached" teams were a complete shit show...
...but what I noticed when I was bored to death and watching the Big Ten Network on Sunday was the 2019 game against Wisconsin featured an insane number of future NFL guys on the field... and I'm talking a lot of guys at Illinois who would end up being top 75 level draft picks. We have 1 that seems to be guaranteed for that future, and that is Gabe Jacas. Maybe X Scott, but we'll see how he measures up for the NFL. So... IDK... the pure talent on our side of the field isn't going to overwhelm too many teams... but we do football pretty damn well, it seems.
