Both the Illini and the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be coming off bye weeks when they meet in Lincoln on Saturday. No doubt, interim head coach Mickey Joseph will have some tricks ready for Illinois, but the Illini should be able to return to Champaign with a win if they can simply keep playing the brand of Illinois football that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing this year.
Two weeks ago, Nebraska’s offense went wild against the Purdue Boilermakers by putting up 354 yards through the air and scoring 37 points before ultimately coming up short.
