A Coach Named Lovie & a Team From Champaign: THE CORN NATION Q&A With Illinois

Is there really such a thing as a gimme win when we’re 2-7? (Besides Bethune-Cookman)

Illinois comes to town tomorrow and following a near upset of the Buckeyes, Husker fans are about as confident as a 2-7 team’s fans can be. But is Illinois really as bad as we hope they are or does this have the possibility of turning into one of those “Here we go again” type of affairs? Never mind the added indignity of having former Husker QB AJ Bush lead the offensive charge if the worst should happen.

For views from our opponent, we turned to Austin Jabs of The Champaign Room to offer his thoughts on this matchup. He took time out to answer questions on Lovie Smith’s job security, the aforementioned AJ Bush and RB sensation Reggie Corbin. Many thanks to Austin and enjoy below:

After the Maryland game, DC Hardy Nickerson resigned for health-related reasons (health tending to go south when your conference foes not named Rutgers average 55 ppg). Is the main issue actually coaching or did he take the fall for defense that desperately needs a major talent overhaul?
