Halftime Recap - The Refs Are In Midseason Form!: HUSKERS 17 ILLINOIS 10

When their arms had grown weary from flinging laundry and waving wildly for official timeouts, Dylan Raiola and Dante Dowdell had led the Huskers on a 9-play 70-yard drive which culminated first with a 27 -yarder to Jahmal Banks to the 11, then a rainbow to Isaiah Nayor who deftly dragged a toe just inside the chalk for his second touchdown. After seeing the toe clearly in on the replay, Bert burned his last TO on a challenge anyway with only :16 seconds left and the TD was quickly upheld.

The game has gone against type with both teams successfully moving the ball in what many suspected would be a defensive struggle.
