Illinois has a bye week before hosting Tennessee Chattanooga (UTC), and another one before a road game at Nebraska. Nonconference games against Wyoming, Virginia and UTC should all be (on paper) winnable. Crossover conference games at Indiana, home against MSU, and at Michigan. Road games at Michigan and Northwestern to close out the regular season.

Shoot for 6-6, no stumbles, and a bowl game.
Va pounded us last year.

Hard to win football games with below average QB'ing.  Until Bielema can find a QB, I think the ceiling is 6-6.  But I do think he's building Illinois the right way. He's focus on instate recruiting, getting the guys that usually go to Iowa/Northwestern/Wisconsin and also his staff I think is good.

Perhaps the script will be flipped in 2022. Former Clemson OC Tony Elliott took over in Charlottesville when Bronco Mendenhall resigned in December 2021 after 6 seasons. So UVA has a new HC/OC/DC and the game against Illinois will be Virginia's 1st road game of the season. Sound familiar? Hopefully the Illini will draw more than the 36k who witnessed last year's mauling at Scott Stadium. The Illini offense (minus OC Tony Petersen, QB Brandon Peters) should be better, if for no other reason than it can't possibly be as anemic as the 2021 edition.

I hadn't thought about the Va coaching change.
The 1 thing I took out of the spring drills story was Bielema and Lunney wanting to maximize a players potential.
I had reservations about Petersen early when it looked like a plan of 'this is our offense, learn to fit in it.'

Lol, while I understand the rationale behind your response, from my perspective it's simply a case of addition by subtraction (losing OC Petersen & QB Peters = improvement).
