Another Q1 opportunity…let’s get back into the 3/4 discussion with a 2-0 week
Nebraska has lost six straight. They'll probably come out like a house on fire. We need to be ready to play a full 40.
Playing a full forty would be something completely new.
I think the Illini should be around a 6-pt favorite. We'll see.
And since it's "one game at a time," BU has four days to prepare a solid game plan against the Cornhuskers.
Hopefully, some of the flu-stricken players will heal up, while Tomi regains his strength and recoups.

See multiple blow out wins
did you miss the 32 point win at oregon? the 39 point win vs PSU without KJ? The 25 point win at IU? I'd argue we played other games that were pretty complete even though they didnt get such gaudy results

Hopefully it doesn't turn into Stereo.

How did we do in the 2nd half of those games?
ESPN Analytics currently favoring us but don’t have a spread yet.
Really well against both Oregon and PSU. Indiana 2nd half started bad but they righted the ship pretty quickly.
In their building? Based upon recent form? No way I'd favor us. Maybe 50/50 or so.
Nebraska is tough at home. They will have time to think about their loss today
This is a game we need to be ready and take care of things

I spent several days in Carle Hospital with mono my sophomore year. Fever so high they packed me in ice. Then a couple of weeks home to recover. Yep, mono sucks.
My doctor says the virus stays with you the rest of your life.
Yeah but hopefully getting it was fun for him.
It’ll be about 4-5 based on advanced analytics
Wouldn't be surprised if Nebraska plays like their hair is on fire. They really really need a big win to turn their season around. And they only have this 1 game at home before going out West.
That being said, if our offense comes to play then I don't think they have the fire power to keep up.

I feel like Nebraska is the exact type of team that gives Underwood trouble. They aren't overly talented or athletic but they are well coached, run good sets, and can shoot.
Plus who on the Illini is going to stop Brice Williams from dropping 30+? The Illini should be too big and talented to struggle here but it wouldn't surprise me.

Meh. Barring a Maryland type meltdown across the whole roster, I'm unconcerned.For some reason I thought this game was at home. This will be a tough one.
