Illinois at Nebraska

POSTGAME NOTES - OCTOBER 29, 2022


- With the Illinois victory, Nebraska now leads the all-time series between the schools 13-6-1, including 9-3 in Lincoln. The Huskers have dropped the past three games to Illinois but have a 6-4 lead in the series since NU joined the Big Ten.

- Senior tight end Travis Vokolek had a 56-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, marking the longest reception of his college career. Vokolek's previous long catch was 38 yards at Oklahoma in 2021. The touchdown was Vokolek's second career touchdown at Nebraska and his second in the past three games.

- Senior tight end Chancellor Brewington had a 45-yard reception in the first quarter, marking his longest reception at Nebraska. It tied his career long reception, matching a 45-yard catch in 2017 while playing at Northern Arizona (vs. Illinois State)

- Receiver Alante Brown had a 32-yard reception in the second quarter, marking the longest reception of his career. Brown's previous long catch was a 22-yard reception at Rutgers on Oct. 7

- Cornerback Quinton Newsome had two tackles for loss, including a 12-yard sack, marking a career-high in tackles for loss, bettering one TFL in two previous games. Newsome's sack was the second of his career, with his previous sack against Fordham in 2021. Newsome added a fumble recovery in the third quarter, the first of his career

- Linebacker Luke Reimer made nine tackles to increase his career total to 217, moving him into the top 30 on the Nebraska career tackles list

- Nickel back Isaac Gifford had a seven-yard sack in the second quarter, marking his first career sack.

- Before leaving the game in the second quarter with an injury, quarterback Casey Thompson threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Travis Vokolek, giving him a TD pass in all eight games. Thompson is just the third Husker with a TD pass in the first eight games of a season, joining Keithen McCant (first eight games of 1991) and Dave Humm (first 10 games of 1972)

- The loss marked Nebraska's 20th straight loss to ranked opponents
