The Pass-Happy Broncos

Have you see some of the numbers on Western Michigan quarterback Tim Hiller?

Hiller is averaging 317.3 yards per game passing this year.  As solid as Juice Williams has been (271 yards per game)...Hiller's numbers are even better.   He has thrown for 28 touchdowns this season with only 5 interceptions. 

Hiller has thrown for nearly 3,000 yards this year alone...and over 7,000 in his career.  And he is completing those passes at a nearly 69 percent.  His completion numbers are right behind such heralded quarterbacks as Colt McCoy of Texas...Graham Harrell of Texas Tech and Chase Daniel of Missouri (remember him?)

So as you can tell...the Illini secondary will get another test against the Broncos in Detroit.

Of course....Western Michigan will have their own issues trying to stop Juice Williams. 

Should be fun to watch. 

A note left over from my chat Thursday on IlliniHQ.com:

News-Gazette basketball beat writer has sat in Jerrance Howard's Cadillac. In fact...Klee wrote about it recently .  According to Klee...Jerrance loves his new ride.

Also....read Paul's article about the Coaches vs Cancer event last Monday night in Covington, Indiana.
