 Re: College Football Notebook
ILLINOIS: The team was one of the biggest surprises of the 2007 season, and now the pressure is on Zook to take the program to yet another level. Every-
one knows he can recruit, he was able to do that at Florida, but is he good
enough game coach to take all that talent and succeed when the expectations
are running high. Everyone's going to be gunning for the Illini this year, and
anything less than a 10 win season might be seen as a major dissappoint-
ment.
During spring practice, Illinois needs to develop a more efficient and con-
sistent passing game. Also, a runningback has to step up to take the place
of departed Rashard Mendenhall who was an outstanding back. The talent
is there and expectations are high, getting the improvement needed to
have another great season rides squarely on Zook and his assistants. |
