LOL Yep I'm with skers on this one. But Bama has the ability to recruit the large amount of freak athlete bluechip LB's you need to play a 3-4. Nebraska could never recruit for a 3-4 defense.

Illinois runs a version of 3-4, and statistically were T1 for the best total defense in the conference this year.
I would contend that we have much more talent than Illinois and a much better defensive mind to lead them.

Really? Even though they lost their last six?
Sounds like a scheduling aberration to me.

The statistics I'm quoting are strictly B1G conference numbers.
Their defense was never the problem.
Turnovers and offensive woes were a major issue for Illinois this year.

Don't post inside jokes to Blake here. You don't want to have them deleted.

Blake, what do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of Coach Els in terms or teaching/coaching the LB's?
Is there anything we can hang our hats on knowing we will be the best at?
Thanks in advance sir, much appriciated!
