Another solid season and 2nd straight bowl victory over an SEC team for Illinois. Beilema has done has excellent job in rebuilding a program that was a B10 doormat.
Kelly’s career arc is a strange one. NFL head coach, Oregon head coach, NFL offensive coordinator, Ohio State offensive coordinator and now Northwestern OC?
Hey Fellas, 1. I really like the Whittingham hire for the Wolverines. The culture is definitely in need of a change and maybe Whittingham will bring back stability and honor to a once well respected football blue blood program. Chip Kelly to NW tells me that Ohio State has bigger plans or they realized his system wasn’t the best long term solution.
I think as long as Ohio State doesn’t get in their own head and they’re focused they win 27-10. Miami’s offense doesn’t worry me honestly. Their defense is pretty solid but I also think the guys are fired up after the B1G loss. The Indiana Alabama game is very intriguing to me. I honestly don’t know who to pick. Part of me would love to see the B1G represented well but we all know Alabama is Alabama. The game depends on how well Indiana’s defense plays.
Considering his obstinate game plan against Michigan in 2024, my guess is that OSU fans would not want a reunion with Kelly. Agree that Whittingham is the right medicine to detoxify M’s football program.
