2012 Illinois Fighting Illini

[Jack Lambert]

Here are your starting white Illini for Illinois and new head coach Tim Beckman. Since 2005, Illinois has started 10, 11, 8, 5, 4, 4, and 6/7 last year. Look for another shocking jump up to 8 white starters this year.

Some white Illini to keep an eye out for are QB Reilly O'Toole, WRs Jordan Frysinger and Jake Kumerow, TE Matt LaCosse, C Tony Durkin, RG Tyler Sands, RT Pat Flavin, NT Jake Howe, DT, Austin Teitsma, and MLB Henry Dickinson. Scheelhaase has a tendency to get hurt, so definatly watch out for Reilly O'Toole to play this year. I'm shocked that Illinois has 8 white starters this year. WR Spencer Harris could have a great year this year, even with Scheelhaase at QB.

Baby steps ...

They're starting to look like a Big Ten team again after that disastrous experiment with going all black.

Scheelhaase is a garbage QB. He is a zook recruit through and through. O'Toole is a pretty good prospect and is only a sophomore. The new coach does not have an allegiance to Scheelhaase like that moron Zook did so I hope O'Toole gains the starting position at some point this season.

Leonardfan, I'm with you on the QB situation. I'm so sick of seeing this team with a black quarterback.

Col.,

I watched him play some last year...he is a real scatterbrain back there.
