When he was 16, Wole Betiku calculated his chances at a Nigerian sports camp and decided to focus on football instead of hoops. Never mind he'd never worn a helmet and didn't know the rules.

Interesting to hear Frost say all three defenses Nebraska's faced this season have come out in looks that Nebraska didn't practice for. He thinks Illinois may just do what it does typically.

Collin Miller keenly aware of the fact that the #Huskers haven't won on the road since Scott Frost took over. Said he wants to go to Illinois and prove, "We're here."

Lovie: I look at the total body of work after a nonconference schedule. We're 2-1. We didn't play our best ball today. There's enough positive things, bright spots, to build on. ... A 2-1 team says you've done some good things. Where do you go from here? #Illini
