I don't know what the hell UofI is doing with their QBs. Today I learned that our third QB's name is Osei. Unfortunately he had to throw a couple picks for me to learn his name...I don't like injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be an Arkansas fan who just found out that Brandon Allen is their backup QB. (No, not that Brandon Allen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The Big 10 is unbelievably bad. There is an astonishing lack of talent on offense in the conference right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) IU lost Sophomore QB Tre Roberson for the year with a broken leg. He was by far our best guy on offense, too. I still am hoping for good things from our running game. Edited September 9, 2012 by farmteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) It's way too early but from watching the first 2 games I almost think we might have downgraded with this coaching staff... At least Zook could recruit. Edited September 9, 2012 by GoodAsGould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I only really follow Big Ten football, not a college football fan, and these games are indeed hard to watch. Not fun watching Michigan miss tackles or get juked by ball carriers. Bowl season will be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The SEC, ACC and PAC 12 were embarrassed a bit yesterday as well. Lots of parity this year below the top 2-3 teams it appears. In the Big ten only NW beat an AQ team yesterday though UCF was probably the best team that was beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Iowa has the dreaded combination of a QB who's not very accurate and takes forever getting rid of the ball, and receivers who have a tough time getting open and a tough time just catching a ball thrown right to them.

If you want Zook, you need to stop watching football. You're uneducated on Western Michigan (and first game for this entire team and staff, and it was a W). Last night set up to get beat, period. That offense is good. They could be ranked at some point. Whatever, fans like you are why coaches have zero chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something happens or the coaching is beyond horrific he should get at least 3 years. Only Illinois fans think Western Michigan is any good and it is funny.
