Juice on Saturday

Ok, I normally restrict my comments to Illini basketball, but after knocking off the Ohio State Buckeyes yesterday, a few comments on football are in order.

1. Ron Guenther looks brilliant as the Illini AD, because Ron Zook is now one of the hottest coaches in America, not just from a recruiting standpoint, but with the results on the field. His recruiting will only improve from here, and the next two years could be really interesting with the guys coming back.

2. The quarterback debate has officially ended, with Juice Williams having an outstanding game as QB of the Illini. I must admit to liking McGee's passing abilities earlier this season, but Juice showed some nice touch on several TD passes Saturday. And his running game to run out the clock in the fourth quarter was truly impressive.

3. The Illini secondary need to get a game ball for their three interceptions against OSU, which really were key to the win.

The Illini need to beat Northwestern, and they could be looking at a nice bowl game to finish up the year. Nice job, Zooker!

Also, thanks for giving a scholarship to Mr. Jackson, which helps out Coach Weber in his recruiting by opening up another slot.
