BTN Bus Tour #ILLINI Offense has a real chance to be balanced run/pass on first down. Impressive scheme. Good talent at every position.

BTN Bus Tour #ILLINI Enough matchup opponents on schedule that Bowl is realistic goal. Balanced physical off that can protect developing Def

DAVE REVSINE
At Illinois practice – just need the D to be decent to have a chance. TJ Neal will help at LB
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 20, 2014
Jihad Ward has good size and athleticism – should make an instant impact for the Illini
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 20, 2014
Wes Lunt is as advertised – great size, great arm. No doubt this offense will score some points
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 20, 2014
Wes Lunt with a beautiful long ball to Martize Barr – perfect. He is a great fit for what Bill Cubit wants to do
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 20, 2014
Secondary continues to be an issue for the Illini. Better – but still a young group
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 20, 2014
Geronimo Allison is a good-looking target for the Illini. Helps in a massive area of need. Will be a big contributor

Lots to like about QB Wes Lunt. Big, strong arm. Oklahoma St transfer part of 3 way battle to start. #Illini pic.twitter.com/9SDQfFS7Bx

The #B1G has some nice TEs. And @IlliniFootball has two good ones in Matt LaCosse and Jon Davis. Big, athlete power-forward types. #Illini
