Rough night for Morris
We've had chances to get off the field on 3rd down. Just gotta capitalize on one of them. Edit: There it is! Come on!!!
They just moved Heckel to corner and subbed out Morris.
HELL YEAH DEFENSE. HUGE STOP
Wow, when's the last time we had a 4th down stop against a power conference team?

WTF was that throw? Didn't look like our linemen tipped it like the crappy Fox broadcaster said
im not sure that play was going anywhere but backwards anyway

So happy they decided to go shotgun no rb. In any event, great stand!
Nebraska fans have to be thinking, "Illinois pulls off a fake fg run on 4th and 12, and we go 4th and 1 empty set. Fire Rhule now!"

These coaches get paid millions of dollars and they go empty in the backfield and THROW on 4th and 1? I mean, I ain't mad, but if I were a Nebraska fan, I might have a broken TV right now.
Brett Bielema is a freaking god. There is NO way we should be nullifying the talent and coaching this Nebraska team has on offense given the talent disparity on paper.
Now a another 7 minute TD drive.

Brian B: "How do you like that?"
Me: I like that. A lot.

Thank God, but who is playing safety now?

Matt Rhule with a play-calling masterclass tonight 
The way they’ve been moving the ball on the ground, and they go empty backfield and throw on 4th and 2??
