Does that imply you will be done posting on ISU Redbird Sports board?

Sure. Why not. This entire sport’s program is shit.
Bye.

Illinois State football looks for ways to juice up pass rush

ISU seeks a more effective pass rush.

I'd like to see Reid and Vandenburgh come off the same edge. I know they like Reid playing in space but the way he plays a nice loop blitz with #5 could cause some chaos and destruction upside a QB's noggin.

How many yards of penalty do you get for noggin destruction? (not to mention chaos)

I get it, someone pissed in your Cheerios this season. But geez, there are only 2 MVFC programs that can claim they've had more success than ISU in the last 10+ years .. NDSU and SDSU. And maybe 8 or so in all of FCS. Can't just look at record, which is impressive by itself. This is the SEC ... 4-4 is a top 20 playoff team .. or should have been most years since 2010 in the MVFC.

We lost so much since 2019 season and MVFC is having one of its stronger/deeper seasons .. likely a 5 bid year, arguably a 6 bid year if not for the war of attrition where we beat crap out of each other for 8 weeks, and one of our 7-4 teams stays home, while an 8-3 NEC team packs their bags.

Redbird football will be back next fall .... besides, ...

p.s. name that movie for big prizes !!!

Jefferson has also been with the program much longer than Waring. He redshirted in 2018...2021 is really his fourth year in the program (granted COVID took away 2020). This is Waring's first full season with the Redbirds. He did play a bit in the spring NDSU game in the abbreviated season. With the season now totally lost, where is the greatest potential and who is the future for ISU football? This is not just a question for the QB position but each and every position on the team. Spack alluded to this in his press conference. The coaching staff Spack needs to address in the off season. The players he needs to begin working on now. I expect to see some younger players seeing much more playing time over the next three games. If they lose to UNI there really is no reason to not get the young bucks some playing time.

And for the most part, you'd think you could still redshirt those guys. Some may have already played, but some PT in the final two or three games shouldn't be a problem for many if not most.

I'm confused as to why Spack burned Warings redshirt and now goes with Jefferson despite his continued struggles.

You all know i was a Jefferson fan. But hes had his chance .. plenty of blame to go around, and i still think if he were at SIU or SDSU or NDSU, he might have turned into a pretty good dual threat QB. But the season is lost as far as playoffs. Now is time to spread the reps, develop more players, see what weve got, and find next year's 2 deep at all positions.

Its almost better we lost season so early, just for this reason ... get ready for next season !!

Maybe they're protecting Waring ... but if not, i dont get it.

Well, to add insult to injury, beating ISU was not enough to save the coach's job at WIU. He's out after the season is over.

MACOMB, Ill. - Western Illinois University and head football coach Jared Elliott have mutually agreed to part ways at the conclusion of the 2021 season, Director of Athletics Danielle Surprenant announced on Tuesday (Nov. 9).

Elliott, who has served as head coach since 2018, will lead the Leathernecks in their season finale at Northern Iowa Saturday, Nov. 20.
