Depth Chart for Illinois

[RobHowe]

Ojemudia listed ahead of Rugamba. KF said Saturday he expected Manny to play agains Illini. No change at punter, at least on here.

no change. shocking. hoping to try something new versus Illinois, a weaker opponent and easy win. not so much...

Rob, is it your sense that Rugamba is back in the doghouse? I ask because the tv commentators made mention that OJ was surprised to get the call to start on Sat, but also said that KF said that Manny had been dinged up all week. Seems weird to me that if Manny was dinged up that OJ would have known pretty well ahead of time that he'd be starting...

#38, the other Tight End is not listed. I'm not surprised....watch the tape.

Huh? He's listed as the other starting TE...we list 2 TE positions...

 

[NCHawker]

nevermind.. assumed they just list 1 TE.

It's probably always been there and I didn't notice, but what does the ^ next to some names ( like AJ ) mean?

From what KF said in the postgame, Rugamba was hurt against Penn State. He was able to practice more as the week went on but didn't get to the point where he could play. KF said he expected him to be available for Illinois. I didn't get any sense he was in the doghouse.

There has to be 1 other player out of 100 or whatever that can punt it further than our current punter. I'm honestly embarrassed for him. My high school had a better punter.
