| Ron Johnson-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to our sixth Game Thread of the 2023 Nebraska football season. Nate M’s Quick Thoughts: Illinois is 3-0 against Nebraska over the past three seasons. Going into this season I predicted that Illinois would beat Nebraska. This was based off of Bret Bielema’s track record. However, Illinois has not played as well as I expected while Nebraska has played about as well as I expected going into the season. Which isn’t good. Now I believe that Nebraska should be able... |

Lastly, the Chicago Bears are years from being competitive. Which brings me to last night. My fantasy football matchup... |

I was supposed to hop on a flight to Omaha the evening after the conference finished but my flight was delayed. Since the delay was 90 minutes and my layover in Vegas... |

However, the last time they played Illinois in Champaign on a Friday night, Nebraska was victorious. It was 2017. It shouldn’t seem like so long ago. So why do we have games on Friday night?
