After the Nebraska football team went to Ohio State and put together what was clearly its best effort of the 2018 seasons, the Huskers and their fans can’t wait to get the team back on the field for Saturday’s home game against Illinois.
The excitement surrounding Nebraska football is palpable right now and it’s not just because of one moral victory in Columbus last week. That game proved that the Huskers could play with one of the elite teams in the Big Ten and they could do it on the road.
Now, Nebraska football has to prove it can beat a 4-5 Illinois team that will come to Lincoln plenty motivated.
