Illinois
Defense:
Bad on 3rd down. TFLs are below average. Rushing defense allows 4.2/carry. Defense allows 100% scoring in the rezone, albeit majority FGs in 6 attempts.

Offense:
Sacks allowed is below average. 40% 3rd down conversion rate. Pretty average passing & rushing stats.

Kansas is a better team than Colorado.

I think the first three games saw Nebraska figuring out what they do and don't do well. I'm expecting a more focused approach offensively Friday. Offensive efficiency is pretty even between Nebraska and Illinois but I believe Nebraska has hindered these stats due to some unique decision making in these first three games that likely won't appear in Big10 play.

Defensively, Nebraska is a top-5 unit in the Big10, efficiency-wise. Top-25 limiting explosive plays, top-10 in rushing defense efficiency and negative drives.

If Nebraska protects the ball, makes FGs and runs the ball efficiently I see this being an easy win.

Nebraska 31
Illinois 16

Delays almost always advantage the home team

Did you not see how it affected frost’s time here? Delays don’t just fuck up the game, they’ll ruin a whole career.
