Jeff George Jr. starting

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Pressure the hell out of a QB who has a career completion percentage of 43% 5 TD'd and 7 INTS.

 

[DaCDiggity]

Who gets more ints the DL or the back 7 lol

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Illinois is a mess on offense right now, even worse than Iowa. We lose this one and its gonna be a long season

 

[BUCKSNDUCKS]

It would be great to put some pressure on him............

 

[Wasnt-drunk-didnt-troll]

Perfect game at a perfect time. Knowing KF he is going to want to run the ball until we execute perfect but I hope we pass, pass and pass more. At this point we NEED tape that makes other teams respect our ability to pass and more importantly need to get the passing game reps.

 

[DaCDiggity]

It would be a good game too truly throw epenesa too the wolves as well and heck throw wirfs in there as well

 

[jhawkinaz]

hope the Hawks can drop a 54-20 on him like they did his Dad back in the day!!

I think then Illinois was a top 5 team and the Hawks roasted them......that was a fun game.

although that may have been Verduzco

 

[LuteHawk]

Lovie Smith made the QB change after he heard
the Chicago Bears were making a QB change.
The difference is that Mitch Trubisky has a future
in the NFL and Jeff George Jr. has no future in
college football.

Yep. Jason Verduzco

 

[Hammer93]

Yep. Jason Verduzco

I fear Jeff George Jr. is one week away from being in the Heisman race.....

Pressure George Jr because he's inexperienced.....or because his supporting cast is terrible?

[NorthDSMHawk]

Oh, new starting quarterback against us?

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Both. Its not binary.

 

[rufus-hawk]

Suddenly I feel very old.

 

[RiverCityHawk]

Suddenly I feel very old.

Jeff George and Illinois beat Iowa 31-7 in Kinnick back in 1989.

 

[LZZOSO]

This will be a big time bounce back game and Wadley will go for 200+. They have a terrible defense, and we will run wild.

 

[citizenHawk]

Maybe just focus on getting a W? Last I checked, Illinois is still a Big Ten team. Iowa has lost to far lesser teams this past decade.

 

[Birky]

Unless Iowa stops letting guys run unblocked into the backfield, nobody is running for 200 yards. I expect Iowa will figure it out, but I’m not sure it will happen this week?

Illinois’ Offense is complete trash. Their D can probably keep Iowa in check for a half or so.

I think that would be too sexy...

 

[Fan In Black]

Haha. Pressure a new QB. Thats a good one.

Jeff George and Illinois beat Iowa 31-7 in Kinnick back in 1989.

I was at that game.....and it felt like 62-7

Huh? beat it why don't ya.

 

[rufus-hawk]

Jeff George and Illinois beat Iowa 31-7 in Kinnick back in 1989.

Somehow I don't remember that part. Might be because I was a student then...

 

[Dauminator]

I'm not underestimating this opponent. B1G players are proud, and our style lets anyone compete with us. Our undefeated team only beat them by single digits, IIRC, and it wasn't until late that that one was settled.

 

[Randall Stanhope]

There's a Jeff George Jr?!?!

Who knew?

 

[HawkRugged17]

There's a Jeff George Jr?!?!

[JRingo]

I always confused Jeff George with George Jefferson. One owned a dry cleaners and the other one took us to the cleaners.

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Kinda of weird he doesn't have a powerful arm. I guess not all traits transfer.
Maybe that includes the head case gene as well.

Wirfs may be injured. That is tragic for our OL. He really fills out a uniform.
