-I want to see wrapping up and swarming to the ball, then I want to see home run hits - not targeting/launching.
-I want pancakes on run blocking and a clean AM in the passing game.
-No brain farts. Know your assignment, know your role and don’t try to do someone else’s job before completing yours.
If these aspects play out, then it’s my belief all the “fun” things we want to see will occur. Defensive TDs, RBs streaking the sideline for 60 and a score, Betts slipping coverage for a TD over the top, and then let’s see some sacks - please throw the bones.

A shut out.
6-7 sacks
pick 6
turnovers
basically a complete skull crushing by our DEFENSE.

1) The ability to score TDs on long drives.
2) The ability for the team to over come something bad happening. The offense gets a penalty and it doesn’t stall the drive causing a punt.
3) The ability for our defense to cause a lot of 3 and outs.
4) Good special teams.
I know, you said 3 but I don’t care.

yes ages 1-6 he saw good football. Then- not really. Not sure most of us remember those years- dad never took me to games as an infant.

I was 3 and 4 for our first championships in the 70s. I faintly remember the games being on TV and the family watching.

Sound fundamental football tomorrow...few if any penalties, zero turnovers, good blocking at the point of attack, and assignment sound defense.
Finally, no miscues on special teams this year. Who could forget the Illini punter walking for a first down last year in Lincoln on a 4th and long.
Win or lose, these are the elements I am looking for if we are indeed making progress. For those who remain critical of those of us questioning this current coaching staff, evaluate those elements, rather than the score, and ask yourself if we are on the right track. If I see tomorrow what I have seen for the past 3 years, it is hard for me to believe that this year will turn out any different.

1. Clean offensive game plan.
2. Stout run defense without run blitzes
3. No penalties, fumbles, or bad snaps on the first drive of the game.
If we can do #3 along with the first two, we've got a solid chance in every game we play this season. How many of us have watched a fumble or dumb penalty on the first drive and thought we've already lost this game? Discipline is such a predictor of success that it's impossible to think anything other than "this is over" when they do some dumb s#!t on the first drive of the game.
