Funny.. DM & MW Both Lose To Illini By 20 @ Home

I think Cam’s biggest mistake was throwing in Randle El at QB as a quick fix for the offense. I get it, Cam was desperate and ARE was a great talent. I believe he should’ve been patient and stuck ARE at receiver and let Jones (I think that was the other QB at the time) be the QB. We had Williams at RB too. I think the following year those moves would’ve paid off. Could’ve still used ARE at QB in certain situations.
ARE was a once in a lifetime dynamo on the field. He was at the right position. The more you could have the ball in his hands, the better it was for us and at QB, he was touching the ball every single snap.

Our problem was never the offense. We had no defense until about the last 5 games of Cam’s final 2001 season.

It took Cam 5 years to figure out you had to play a little defense. By then it was too late for Cam.
