Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska
- Status
Sydney Brown will be it at safety. He has potential to be elite in run support and serviceable in pass coverage. He will be a weapon in a year or two, just needs to have good outside coverage from the CBs around him.

Nah, not that bad. Offense is definitely on the upswing. The defense + dumb mistakes makes it feel worse than it is.
The turnovers are the difference.
Can Williams switch to WR, and Beason play both ways next year?

The Nebraska receivers use their hands to catch as they should. Our guys don't seem to understand that - they let the ball go right through theirs, hit the chest and it bounces off. Fundamentals?

Why would anyone punt against us?

I suppose to give us a chance to fumble, huh?

I wonder how many times in a row they could just chuck it into the dead middle of the field against our zone coverage.
Our execution of that has been an F-minus-minus the entire season.

On to Iowa next week.
Does Lovie not realize the difference between when they blitz vs no blitz? Yea you can’t blitz every down, but nearly all of their big passes have been made with no blitz and no pressure.
Geez. The gut punches keep coming this game. Still had a little hope and that 4th and 9 conversion....:hurl:
Do we have a TE who can catch a ball?

In terms of misfortunes this has been a hall of famer. Shades of Zook's Rose Bowl.
That game is going to be really ugly.
illinois football...uggh
I cant believe how bad the secondary is. Ive never seen so many wide open receivers.
Speaking of which, where has Barker been all game?
