I got involved in a discussion over there about the Mizzou-Illinois football game earlier this year.

I said that I thought Mizzou would've won by more if Juice Williams actually stayed in the whole game because I think he's a selfish QB who keeps the ball way too often on zone reads. I think Illinois would be a better team if they had a QB who handed off more to Mendenhall. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but it's the one I hold.

Someone on there says I'm ridiculous for playing the "what if" game, but it's perfectly reasonable to believe that if Juice played the whole game, Illinois probably would've won.

Huh?

I missed that game as I was out of the country....but I think Juice has greatly improved during the course of the season. Really can't say what would have occurred had IL left him in the Mizzou game. But I like him......

Bernie's pressbox is what it is!

Did you watch the Ohio State game? He improved more than anyone I have ever seen in on season. That being said, he's still just a running back that chucks the ball occasionally.

It is hard to argue with your statement based on what actually happened, because it was the backup IL QB who made the Mizzou-IL game interesting at the end. I believe he accounted for 2 TD's before throwing a pick in the end zone.

But Juice has improved a lot over the season (like many other players in college) so perhaps your antogonists are applying some revisionist history.
