Fighter of the Nightman
- Chicago, IL
Supposed to be about 28 degrees at game time in Lincoln.
My concern is that we've really had problem getting containment. End runs and jet sweeps really eat us up. I can't believe Minny didn't try more of that. With their running QB I think we could have problems. I'm sure Nebraska is the best (by far) 2-7 team in the country and could cause some real matchup issues for us.
Fair enough, but the Huskers are allowing 4.46 yard/carry. I'm thinking our dual threat run game can gash them.

What in the world is on those helmets?
Rutgers was the worst D.
MN was the 2nd worst D.
NB is the 3rd worst D.
Too bad we can’t play our own D... :suspicious:
Thought it was a jock strap...What in the world is on those helmets?
EDIT: Apparently it is supposed to look like stitched strapping on leather helmets from 1923.
you nailed itDon't know what to think about this game. Will the team stay focused and keep improving, or will they backslide?

Warning: incoming rant.
Can someone please remind our equipment managers and football team that our colors are not orange and white? I was so hopeful that we would get past this with the orange on navy and navy on orange jerseys with no white trim, but it seems like they are just wearing more white at every opportunity to make up for it.
It's like they have one foot in the "let's be traditional" mind frame, and the other in the "let's change our uni combos every week because that's the trendy thing to do" camp. All the while neglecting to use our actual colors on a consistent basis. What ends up happening is we don't have brand identity and get pissy fans like me. O/b/o or b/o/b should be the only colors that flash on our TVs. Colors that any casual fan watching a. B1G game would quickly identify as illini at first glance.
