Since 06' Illinois' started 11, 8, 5, 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, and 10 whites. In 2017 they look to start 10 whites again! HC Lovie Smith willl try to improve on a 3-9 record. At QB (S0) Jeff George will takeover as starter following week 4 when former starting QB (Jr) Chayce Crouch was benched (white for a white). RB (Fr) Mike Epstein has set the Big 10 on fire so far! Thru 4 games Epstein has 50 carries for 263 yds and 3TD's! Mike Dudek has been their WR by far, with 16 catches for 195 yds and a TD! Illinois also have a 4/5 white O-Line! Illinois just may have the best offense in college football this year!
Defensively, (Fr) S Dawson Degroot will be their loan white starter. However, they have plenty of white talent on the depth 2-deep! Lets Go Illinois !!
