HUSKERS RECAP – Same Old Song: Illinois 31 Nebraska 24
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images The party is officially over and we still can’t win a one-score game. And yes, the B1G referees are truly the dirt of the earth. The good news is the silly talk can now stop and we can do what we should’ve been doing all along – worry about winning six freaking games. Because guess what? Same as it ever was – we still can’t win a one-score game. Matt Rhule’s record in them as the head coach of the Huskers is... |
Halftime Recap – The Refs Are In Midseason Form!: HUSKERS 17 ILLINOIS 10
| Raiola leaned on the short game early but went downfield to give NU the halftime lead. | Dylan Widger-Imagn Images The Illini and the zebras had their moments, but when the band came out, the Huskers had hit the tunnel with a lead. 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,... |
Game Thread: Illinois to Open Big Ten Play for Nebraska
| Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Nate M. Quick Thoughts: This is going to be the first real step for this Nebraska team. We will learn a lot about this team. Bret Bielema is going to run the ball and going to put stress on the Nebraska defense. To win the game Illinois is going to possess the ball and limit Nebraska’s offensive possessions. Nate M Prediction: Nebraska wins 20-14 Date: Today. Location: Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE Time: 7 p.m. TV Broadcast Info: TV –... |
NEBRASKA VS ILLINOIS – The Friday Night Street Fight!: PRE-GAME & HOW TO WATCH
| Last year, the Blackshirts stood tall on an early goal-line stand and held the Illini to 7 points. Is a repeat performance in the cards? | Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A 3rd straight night game, a battle between ranked teams in Memorial for the 1st time in 13 years and the program’s 400th straight sellout. Buckle up, chappies. I got here early to enjoy some air conditioning instead of wandering cement parking lot tailgates with the temp around 95, and along... |
Predictions: Huskers vs. Illini
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Mike: I’m really grumpy over this week’s game. Other than the COVID season, I haven’t missed a home game since 1998 until this week. Friday night is for high school football, and that’s where I’ll be. I’ll watch the game on the correct day for college football: Saturday. Jarek: I’m more disappointed that Nebraska’s 400th consecutive sellout is on a Friday night. Seriously?! The B1G Conference can go screw itself for this one. Andy: I began watching the Chasing 3... |
CORN NATION Helps Preview Huskers-Illinois on the Voice of College Football
| Waving my arms mid-babble was the perfect shot. I think my excitement showed a little, but hopefully I made a point or two. (I come in at about the 30-minute mark.) Thursday morning, I took some time out to join Mark Rogers on his podcast, The Voice of College Football, to chat about tonight’s upcoming tilt against Illinois. Once we established I was Andy Ketterson and not Adam Ketterman, we dove right in. (Then I saw the bottom of the screen and realized we settled... |
Friday Flakes: Which Colleges Would Be the Most Fun to Bring Home Championship for? Not Named Nebraska
| Stephen Bruce Today is game day and I thought this would be a fun discussion to have. What college would be the most fun to bring home a championship for? Like they say below, I would think Alabama and Georgia would be last because you would just be another one of the guys. The first one that jumps into my head is Nebraska for obvious reasons so I am going to take them out of the discussion. So here are my top 7 schools for... |
Five Heart Podcast: NEBRASKA VS. ILLINOIS WHO WILL BE 4-0 THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT MEMORIAL STADIUM
| When you hear the slogan “There’s no place like Nebraska” this Friday night game should come to mind. It’s the 400th consecutive sellout game at Memorial Stadium with the Nebraska Cornhuskers hosting Illinois Fighting Illini at 7 p.m. As we prepare for the excitement and pride of our ‘Friday Night Lights’ game, Greg and Minnie will discuss last week’s epic win 34-3 over the University of Northern Iowa and how the mistakes from that game (which were quickly overcome) are key elements to help Nebraska... |
Nebraska Men’s Basketball: The B1G Schedule Release
| Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports It’s almost Nebrasketball season!! We all know how last season went. The best record for Nebraska under Fred Hoiberg. The second team this century to make an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. An 8 seed going against the worst shooting team and best offensive rebounding team in the country. A 9 seed in Texas A&M, where former Nebraska AD Trev Alberts made his move to right before the tournament started in controversial fashion. This team had an opportunity to FINALLY break... |
THE 24 HOUR RULE: Huskers Have a B1G Boss Fight & The Big 400th
| Time to level up and a (figurative) arrow in Illinois’ forehead will get that done. | Stephen Bruce It’s a big weekend in more ways than one. The mini-battles are over and the Huskers get their first chance to level up. And they get to do it while trying to not be the 1st Huskers squad to lose a sellout milestone game. It’s been years since the Huskers have been involved in a battle of ranked teams and it doesn’t take a nuclear energy researcher... |

Five Reasons Nebraska Will Win: Illinois
| Stephen Bruce The Illini are leaving Lincoln with their first loss of the season. They did it! They did it! The Huskers have already completed the first goal of the 2024 season. They completed the non conference season undefeated. Now tomorrow night they will be ready to take on the undefeated Illinois Fighting Illini. Its’ #22 Nebraska versus #24 Illinois.
