What is the current state of the program in Lovie Smith's third season in Champaign? Is the rebuild going as expected? Where is this headed?
1. Ahead of schedule. Lovie is changing the culture and adding young talent. I like where this is headed. There's still a chance to get some big wins this season.
2. About as expected. This is a tough job, and Lovie is doing his best to get things moving in the right direction. The 3-3 record is what we all expected at this point.
3. Not meeting expectations. Compared to other rebuilds (Purdue), Illinois is behind schedule. Getting routed by Purdue was bad, and too many players are transferring out. This isn't going well.
