27-17

Although it was tempting to go with 27-20. I'm wondering if the 2nd half sluggishness will be a hallmark of this year's squad or if they'll work out the kinks as the season progresses.

If this game is 37-13 in favor of the good guys, I think we have much to look forward to the remainder of this season.

24-6 Big Red
Heavy dose of 23 breaking facemasks, and the "Joyful" Jacory Barney is finally gonna rip off a sweep for six, and be an ESPN highlight for the weekend! Defense will be business as usual! Next.

Illinois will have one of the best pass defenses we’ll see this year. I think our O will struggle a bit in this one

But we should be able to run on them fairly effectively.

I haven't seen Illinois play, but given fat Bert's history and type of teams he often has, I'll say 27 - 13 Huskers.

3 tuddies and 3 FG's, with one of those fg's missed for the good guys. Fat Bert's 1 TD and 2 FG's.

I'm shocked you're predicting a win.

Illinois' style plays right into Nebraska strengths. Nebraska should have probably beat them about this score last year but ya know see 2023 Nebraska's offense.

22-13 Skers

 

[Ironwardog]

24- 9 Skers dub. Forecast looks like thunderstorms so Rhule and co. will try to keep the offense running the ball rather than throwing it in the rain. That and there’s chances of delays with the storms leveling out momentum. Low scoring game.

Does it still? I checked this morning on google and it no longer says thunderstorms

It looks like the rain/storms might hit later in the evening, closer to midnight.
