The Illinois Q&A With Jim Vainisi Of The Champaign Room

We asked our Fighting Illini site about what the Beckman-less folks have. It's an interesting tale.

In about 30 hours, your Nebraska Cornhuskers head east to the Land of Lincoln to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini in a Big Ten Conference matchup. That game, even though it will start a half hour later of it's normal time slot, will be televised by the Conference's flagship station.

What's to make of the Illini, with a 3-1 record but a big loss against North Carolina, it's only Power 5 opponent? We asked the manager of our SBNation brethren at The Champaign Room for their opinion, and the Editor-In-Chief, Jim Vainisi, helped us out.
