A head coach who Ohio State fans love to hate is back in the Big Ten. Former Wisconsin and Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema is now in charge at Illinois. But he has some work to do in order to rebuild the Illini program after five disappointing years under Lovie Smith.
Bob Asmussen, the Illinois beat writer for the Champaign News-Gazette joins host Tom Orr to share some insights on what Bielema is doing to get this year's team more competitive, and why Illinois might be better than people expect this fall.
What's next for former 5-star recruit Isaiah Williams now that Brandon Peters has seemingly won the starting quarterback job?
How has Bielema used the transfer portal to restock this year's team? Will a huge group of "Super Seniors" provide an advantage this season? And what does long-term success look like for Bielema in Champaign?
