*** Official Illinois Game Thread ***

It’s one thing to have a young improving team that is not going to win them all.  But damn this crap is bad,  Frost needs to get it together.  We have no receivers.  But a receiver is playing QB?  We have a stable full of RB’s but no offensive game plan for them whatsoever?  A center that still can’t snap the ball.  A secondary that is not built to play man defense but plays man sucky defense anyway.  Slow LBs with poor angles.  Secondary that leads with head and shoulder tap tackles.  I like the DL some but no pressure is going to make crap Illinois QB’s look like Heisman contenders.  Hey, the punter is good.  At least there’s that.

McCaffrey’s arm strength is a problem.

Not just the deep ball - but the “far-hash to sideline” throws that are essential to the offensive game plan this season.

 

Spot on observation.

 

His passes have no zip. The ball takes forever to get from his throwing hand to his intended receiver, and by that point it's too late.

 

You either have arm strength or you don't...he does not. He's a special runner, an athlete, but not a QB for the type of system Frost currently uses.
