Advice to Big Ten Opponents: Just Let Nebraska Beat Itself and You Will Win and The Morning After

A Bret Bielema coached team embarrasses Nebraska once again.

At least it wasn’t to the tune of 70-31 like it was in 2012. We can hang our hat on that fact.

Well, maybe I take that back. This wasn’t a game where a Bret Bielema team embarrassed Nebraska. This was simply a game where Nebraska embarrassed itself. This time Bielema simply took advantage of the miscues by the Huskers.

The mistake that appeared to break Nebraska’s back was Caleb Tannor’s penalty on the Cam Taylor-Britt interception. Whether you want to blame the officials on that call, it doesn’t change the fact that for some reason Illinois went on to score 28 unanswered points.
