I don’t think the plan is to run an2 qb system but it’s wise to give Bo a shot if he’s earned it. After the first 2-3 games he’s not effective then Joey will be the starter and save the redshirt for Bo. No inside info but makes the most sense.

Just a thought but maybe Gus knows what he can do with his feet and outside the pocket for both QBs but wants to make the decision based on reading the defense, protecting the ball and making the right throws.

My fondest memory is having him and takeo sign the same hat when I was a kid....have several others on it also

Nix is going to make mistakes but first impressions are he always has his eyes downfield...nice touch on the ball and seems to sell the zone read which is huge imo

Does this allow a spot for a grad transfer?

Plenty to choose from. You would hope the Illini are looking for a new oline coach too

Honestly depends on what he’s looking for. He could be a 1000 yard WR at Okie St.

Seems to run good routes and had a nack for getting open...good hands and able to adjust his body well. Should be a play maker for wherever he goes

There are several O linemen that we could potentially talk to including a few starters that are available. There’s also a safety from South Alabama that was once a ND commit that caught my eye.

Gotcha....I’ve missed that amongst the pages of threads. I will say there’s some intriguing o line in the transfer portal

Whatever happened with the Wisdom kid

I have to say I agree with you on this. Before the grad transfer we really needed one. Having him allows one of our TE recruits or brown to learn this role. I’d love to have Griffin but not our top concern

Former NFL running back that had success in the league for starters

Sorry but I don’t think it’s a lazy hire and I actually really like it. Time will tell obviously

Their new coach is gonna do big things there
