Illinois football has a brighter outlook on the future when the hiring of Bret Bielema this offseason.
The talented Illini head coach is getting back in the college game after spending 12 seasons with both Wisconsin and Arkansas. During his time with those two programs, Coach Bielema has helped develop some great talent.
That ability to develop talent is why I am extremely excited about what is to come in Champaign.
