Grant Is Absolutely Worthless

This off nse sucks. Purdue dropp d 44 on this team. Every position sucks right now
I'd argue that Ryan Walters knows Illinois football better than anyone in the country
I dont think Grant is worthless, but I was pleasantly surprised at how fast Johnson hit the hole (heh thats what she said). Looked much faster than Grant but yeah...dropsies hurt.
Honestly it does... This time the defense said screw you ****ers, we just won't let them score no matter how long we got to be on the field. How many offensive penalties did we have? The count doesn't matter, but I am fairly confident they were all offensive penalties.
Edit: 9 of the 10 were on the offense. That should be put up on the wall in the locker room. Followed by "Do your part".

To be fair, we probably would’ve put 40 on them too if we didn’t turn the ball over 3 times in the red zone and have stupid *** penalties.
We need much better players on offense. Every position. We need Online that are physical and nasty but don’t constantly commit stupid penalties. Scott’s personal foul penalty was beyond stupid. We need a QB that is more than serviceable at the forward pass. We need WR’s that can actually get open. And we need Ameer and Rex type RBs.
It’s ridiculous how void of talent this offense is.
Lol another unhinged Kong crusade? No way…not at this hour…
^^Live look at Kong every time HH missed his wide open 6’5 freshman^^

Classic someday zero response
Grant pitter patters then heads for the sideline before fumbling
He’s worthless. We don’t need him
It’s clearly a team issue that showed itself in the spring game. Grant just gets more carries. The other guy with 1/3 of the carries had the same amount of fumbles. They all need to work on ball security.
We need an upgrade at that position for sure. Hopefully Johnson will get better with more playing time and won’t have fumble issues.
Lol Tell me you didn’t watch the game at all without telling me. How many zone read keepers did HH miss when the defense keyed on Grant? How many option pitches did he miss again? Grant is by far the least of this offense’s problems. It’s not even close. Lots of people see that
Not every shotgun handoff is a read
Missed at least two pitches, but also made more than he ever has (improvement)
Grant’s lack of urgency (hesitant, East/west) and lack of ball security are a huge problem when trying to establish our identity as a power run team
I’ll give him that. He does turn the ball over though and regularly misses wide open receivers, including Anthony Grant.
We would have also without the stupid penalties and turnovers. That CAN be fixed.
With a new OL coach, I think so, tooWe would have also without the stupid penalties and turnovers. That CAN be fixed.
He’s doing all he can to carry the entire team plus multiple position coaches to wins we haven’t seen in years
Still beating that drum. Former players who watch practice say that Raiola isn’t the problem. I have to trust their opinion. FWIW Illinois has two DTs who are probably going to get drafted. Gone are the days when we can expect the Pipeline to win every battle.
Who’s forcing you to trust terrible, clearly incorrect opinions?
Raiola’s only recruit who plays is responsible for shaky snaps and at least 30 yards worth of personal fouls
NINE penalties last night. 7 presnap. The nepotism ship has sailed
You won’t hear any from him.such a strange crusade for HH.
Leaders don't make excuses.
