As the Illini continue to win, expectations are rising.
On Saturday, the Illini are favored against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Illini are coming off a bye week, but this has not tempered expectations, as Illinois has risen to No. 17 and have fans talking about a trip to the Big Ten Championship.
With a prime opportunity on national television, the Illini have a chance to show the nation they’re legit as they hope to resist tripping up against a disappointing Nebraska team.
Season So Far
This season has been eventful for the Cornhuskers.
