Illinois Football Roster Review RBs & TEs

Continuing my roster review for 2018, we are taking a look at the running backs and tight ends today.

Illinois had a vastly improved running game in 2018, which was the sole reason the team saw a two-win improvement over last season. S&P+ ranked Illinois as the 10th best rushing attack, and metrics put them as one of the most explosive in the land. That is thanks to the offensive line — who I’ll talk about soon — and one other man.

Garrick McGee only gave Reggie Corbin 18 carries in 2017.

Garrick McGee should never coach college football again.
