Game Thread: Illinois @ Nebraska: 9/20/24

[HuskerOC]

Friday Night Football in Memorial Stadium bitchez!

Bielema the Hut brings in his undefeated Illini to face the undefeated Huskers in a clash of actually ranked teams.

Of note, Jabba holds a 4-2 record against the vaunted, pesky, and amazing Huskers in his career.

Will this year be different? Huskers are a solid -7.5 impost.

Winner receives a deluxe Nebrnois tshirt.

95 degrees in Lincoln right now. Little toasty for tailgating weather.

Memorial better have the stretchers ready to be carting out the blue hairs in the first quarter.

Let's go, Illinois!!!

Quick start for the Illini, up 7-0.
I’m not sold on Nebraska, they haven’t beaten a good team yet (I don’t think “coach Prime” and Colorado are a good team), they are getting somewhat overhyped IMO. I think they are better than they’ve been in years past but I’m not convinced they belong in the top 25.

That was a good. Looked like PI.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Damn. Helluva play. I say INT.

I've wet myself over college QB's who did fuck all later, but Dylan Raiola looks legit. A QB who could be playing on Sundays

Nebraska 17, Illinois 10 (H)

 

[HuskerOC]

17 - 10 good guys at half.

Husker D is a bit shaky, and Jabba and crew came in with a solid game plan.

My beloved Huskers have actually found another QB.

Dylan Raiola is the real deal. One cool assed customer.

Long ways to go. Feels good to root once again for a game that actually matters.

 

[HuskerOC]

Completely shit the bed.

Ouch.

 

[Xeliou66]

Illinois wins it in OT - great win for the Illini. I had a feeling the Huskers were a bit overrated.

Completely shit the bed.

Ouch.

Raiola is the real deal. Hopefully he stays in Nebraska the next few years.

Looks like they were way overrated from the news articles I am reading.
