Game Thread: Nebraska @ Illinois 7pm (CT) BTN

Fucking step on their throat

OK.

Rcvrs aren't getting open. I kept questioning why Nebraska doesn't throw downfield and are stuck in the dink and dunk offense.

AM had all day on that 4th down, but ended up keeping it for a turnover on downs.

They have to be on the ground first.

I am still adamant that Nebraska is strength is our defense so I'm thinking that Illinois scores 21 points at the most

 

[Red_Alert]

Block in the back on punt return.

Instead of starting from the 30, they start from the 15.

Good start to this possession. LOL

 

[Red_Alert]

Huskers fumble.

 

[HuskerPower52]

This ain't good

Is that just in the first quarter? Our defense is porous.

Uh Oh....

I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but it looks like Illinois came to play

 

[HuskerPower52]

AM needs to calm down

 

[HuskerinBig10]

The hole is getting pretty deep. Nebraska needs to stop digging and start scoring.

Looks like it is bad Adrian tonight. Hopefully, it changes soon.

 

[Red_Alert]

Not even worried.

No I still think that we tighten the screws on defense in that Illinois doesn't score more than 21-23 points. Which I would consider a strike because of how fast our offense moves and how often the opponent's offense is on the field. the strength in our defense comes when our offense is scoring a lot of points so and so far that hasn't happened. The more points are offense scores the easier defense becomes coachable

 

[HuskerPower52]

Geeez Mo!!!!

 

[Red_Alert]

Mo Washington just ripped his ankle on that wicked cut. That's the only way they finally caught him.

Hope Mo's not too bad.

Whoever's calling play-by-play with Kugler is a fucking idiot.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

The Illinois turf is not something Nebraska is used to.

Thank goodness Nebraska answered.

 

[Red_Alert]

Converted 4th and 4 on a between the tackles run, inside the Illinois 10 yd line.

That's a good sign.

TD pass to TE.

TE's having a good year.
