Illinois Football: Illini set up for Mookie Cooper to shine

Illinois was just a blown fourth-quarter lead to South Florida away from having five wins in 2018. With the talent this program is bringing in from the class of 2019, I have no doubts that we will be bowling this upcoming season. So that will complete the process of making it back to a bowl game, but now we can move on to the next transformation.

I believe, with the coaching staff we have and the talent that is or could be coming in, this team can compete for the Big Ten West title. This would also get us into the Big Ten Championship Game as well.
