The 2010’s have come and gone, and though the decade will have been bookended with bowl seasons, it wasn’t especially kind to Illinois Fighting Illini football.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of great things and wonderful young men worth highlighting from this decade, so I’ve been asked to curate The Champaign Room’s All-Decade Team, and I’d like to start with the offense.
I’m selecting this team based on who had the maximum overall impact in this decade. I’ll justify each choice below!
This was the easiest pick by miles. Scheelhaase was a four-year starter from 2010 through 2013, becoming the all-time Illini leader in passing yardage and getting up to 15th all-time in rushing yardage.
