• All-Time Series: Nebraska leads, 13-5-1
• In Lincoln: Nebraska leads, 9-2
• As Big Ten Foes: Nebraska leads, 6-3
• Last Game: Illinois 30, Nebraska 22 8/28/2021

Nebraska and Illinois will meet for the 10th consecutive season on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011, the Huskers hold a 6-3 edge in the matchup between
the schools, but Illinois has won the past two meetings.
• With Illinois ranked No. 17 in the Associated Press poll, this marks the second time in 20 all-time
meetings the Illini have been ranked at game time in a meeting with Nebraska. Illinois was ranked
No. 20 at game time in 1985. The Huskers have been ranked in four meetings with Illinois, most
recently 15th in 2016, when NU won 31-16.
• The schools met just twice between 1953 and 2013, with a home-and-home series in 1985 and
1986.

Final Analysis by BRANDON CAVANAUGH
Nebraska's biggest challenge isn't going blow-for-blow with this bruising defense. It's tiring them out. Indiana was the lone team to convert over 30 percent of their third down attempts against Illinois. They'd win a 23-20 squeaker giving the Illini their only blemish.

The Huskers average 28:39 in time of possession. Far from ideal with a mark that ties for 96th in college football. They'll need a steady diet of double-digit play drives if they want to send the Sea of Red home happy.

In the end, Joseph's bunch remains plucky, but Bielema's brutes chalk up another win.

Prediction: Illinois 38, Nebraska 27

Throwaway line in a grocery store romance novel.  The male lead wakes up from a long coma, and the first way he realizes how long he's been asleep for, is that Nebraska is an underdog at home to Illinois

Illinois is a one minute 37 second miracle drive by Indiana's Conner Bazelak from being undefeated.  Still trying to wrap my head around Illinois being that good.
Illinois is better than last season. They are not all that good.


I wouldn't give him this much credit

stupid is as stupid does
but, I'd welcome him in Lincoln
It would be fun to view your posts the past few years on the subject of Brett Beliema. That said, I don't blame you. He would be a simple fix to some of Nebraska's problems.
No photo description available.
I look at this and see two big Nebraska problem areas: (1) turnover margin, and (2) Nebraska continues to think it is in the Big 12 where defense doesn't matter.
Interestingly enough, Scott Frost hired a special teams coach, and that seems to be paying dividends, would you agree? (I do not know how special teams stats are calculated, but the calculation is favorable to Nebraska).

That's almost as good as his win percentage vs Wisconsin.

0.50 vs. UW.

Next year it drops to 0.33.

Now the Illini have won three straight in the series, with three different HC match ups.
