Corn Nation Overreaction: Illinois Upends Huskers’ 400th Consecutive Sellout
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images This week on CN Overreaction, Greg and Hoss have the unenviable task of discussing the 31-24 overtime loss to Illinois this past Friday night. What did Illinois do right? What did Nebraska do wrong? Look, this isn’t a finger-pointing situation. But there are clearly some aspects of the old ball game that need to be addressed and corrected. The running game needs to be adjusted. It needs to be flowered up. It’s too direct. We need counters and traps, pulling... |

Huskers vs. Illinois: Quotes, Notes and Thoughts from the 31-24 Loss
| The first of Isaiah Neyor’s two TD’s gave the Huskers a 10-7 lead. | Photo by Nathanial George/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images What did they say? What did we learn? What are the numbers? Basically, it’s an info dump. The Huskers athletic department does a damned good job of putting excessive info out there for the media. In addition, there’s always plenty of quotes from the post-game presser, so I figured why not share some of that stuff with faithful CN readers? Of course, their... |

Plus, penguins, hippos and tigers, Oh My! We knew it was coming. The inevitable one-score loss in a game that was winnable. Were you bought into the “Huskers will be 7-0 when they meet Ohio State” thing? It would have been fun, but it was not meant to be. At least... |
Report Card: Illinois Fighting Illini 31, Huskers 24
| Missed it..by that much. | Photo by Nathanial George/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images So many opportunities missed. I just couldn’t do it. When Fox announced that they were pushing Nebraska’s home game against Illinois to Friday night, I had a dilemma. Which game do I skip? The Husker game or the high school game where my son would be performing at? There really wasn’t any hope of the high school game getting moved; the stadium was already in use on Thursday evening and all day... |

Instant Reaction: Nebraska’s disappointing 31 to 24 overtime loss to Illinois
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images What a disappointing loss. It was a great game – as a college football fan – both teams played hard, physical, Big Ten football. It appears Nebraska isn’t as ready as we thought to win close game like this. Stupid penalties that gave Illinois free yardage. The one that stood out was Malcolm Hartzog’s facemask penalty that I believe extended an Illini scoring drive. Why Matt Rhule chose to try a 39-yard field goal late in the game with his... |
