Honestly good for both teams and the B1G that this is a ranked matchup. It’s already a good game on paper. Nebraska has yet to score a real quality win this season and Illinois been bringing it all season so far. Illinois hasn’t come ranked into a game against a ranked opponent since 2008. Won’t miss this one
@@mikef3896 not even you believe that Colorado is gonna be better than Kansas. Colorado has about 4 guys who know how to play football and an awful coaching staff
I didn't think Illinois would handle being in the top 25 well at all tonight with this game being on the road. Hats off to Illinois coaching staff. They had Illinois dialed in and called great games on both sides of the ball. Close, fun game. All college games should be this fun.
This will be Nebraska's 400th straight sellout and a night game. The crowd is going to be a huge factor. It'll be a tough game but that tips the scales in Nebraska's favor.
400* Just because donors bought the rest of game tickets during the Frost era, just means on paper that it sold old. Plenty of empty seats during those years towards the end of season when it was apparent NU wasn’t going anywhere.
@@dennisgriffin6742 who cares ( who bought them🤦🏻♂️ They are ( sold out) because of who ever bought them smart guy. Thats why is sell out number 400😂😂
It's going to be an interesting game. Illinois is playing hardnosed football under Bielema. I expect them to play a solid game. They are a legitimate opponent.
@@dennisyoung7363 Ouch. They were able to run. Blackshirts looked tired in the third quarter. What was Nebraska's total rushing yards in the second half? Rough combo. Huskers had nothing left in OT. Is conditioning a problem with Nebraska losing so many close games late?
You're guarantee on Illinois' run/pass split might age poorly. I don't believe Illinois will be able to run the ball tonight. I think they will try to win the game through their two talented WRs.
I note that CFB podcasters, like yourself, are predicting a close game between Nebraska and Illinois. Josh, you are also not alone in predicting a Nebraska win, but not covering the spread. I don’t care about point spreads. Like Coach Rhule, as long as Nebraska picks up another W, I’m happy. That said, point spreads are usually an indicator of relative strength. I think the Huskers win by more than 9.
Nebraska has like 3+ amazing running backs, on top of Dylan f'ing everyone up with his pass game, on top of a defensive game that just shuts everyone down, and an O line that actually works now? It's a complete team. Not saying they will beat every team they play, but they will beat everyone outside of like Ohio St and USC probably
@dennisyoung7363 they got shut out 2nd half and Nebraska just had a good start to the game getting cu back up to the 10 yard for there first possession and then getting the ball on the 45 scoring getting cu back on the 1 yard line and sanders throws a int 7 min into the game already down 14 -0 still only scored 14 points in 3 qt so not gonna be easy vs this team with a good qb and line
@@josephromero9972 Blah blah blah. The Huskers started playing their 2s and 3s in the 3rd qtr. Cope harder. You almost lost to an FCS team. Just admit that Deion sucks and find a real coach.
@dennisyoung7363 they really didn't tho they had the same players in but go ahead I'm not even talking about cu Nebraska already played them Illinois ranked for a reason and have dominated the pass 3 games to so think what you want it's gonna be close and I think Nebraska takes first L
You have no credibility based on the results. If you watched the second half of last weeks game you will see that Nebraska is weak and waiting for the other shoe to drop. They can’t play a full game.
35-13 Nebraska. Nebraska is best at Illinois weaknesses. Nebraska defense will bend but not break, Illinois will have a lot of procedure penalties that will end drives. Nebraska's defense is too much in the red zone. Hot day, windy first half causing illinois to miss a few field goals
Drunk on red kool-aid? Mahomes Lite isn’t hitting 70% against our secondary. No way you’re scoring more than 28 points. No way we’re missing multiple FGs with 2 Army All-American kickers on our roster. I do think NU wins because of the running game and crowd. IL 20 NEB 24
@@dennisgriffin6742You guys are 90th - 90th - in stopping the run and that’s against suspect competition. Illinois also has undersized linebackers which has contributed to that. You have won games due to takeaways, but Nebraska has been good with the ball this year and may not need to open up a big passing game if the running game is sufficiently working, which from all metrics, looks like it will. Altmyer is getting pressured by our D and will make mistakes, for the Illinois running game will be shut down. So you can’t run, you can pass… Plus it’s a night game in a raucous environment. Nebraska is rolling 31-14. That 9 point spread is for reason.
Don’t be dumb. Illinois has done more than Nebraska in the B10 since NU has been in this conference. And Illinois is one of the charter members of the B10, which means they are in it for life.

Yall are all wrong - - BOTH teams have a quality win. Chill. Kansas and Colo are both quality wins.
I actually had to stop this video and look up the AP poll because I truly did not believe that both these teams are in the top 25 but they are
Bert's a decent coach, and rhule has Nebraska ascending. Should be a fun game
You had to look? I assume you work at some remote location that doesn't have the internet.
