Major mistakes turned a dominant performance into a four quarter nail biter.

It’s almost as if the Huskers read last week’s report card and went “Hold My Beer”. If last week was “schizophrenic, manic-depressive” then I don’t know how to describe Nebraska’s performance against Illinois. About the safest thing to say is that the “meh” moments got split between “WOW” and “WTF”… and the WTF’s tried to outdo themselves.

If you look at the base stat lines, this was an impressive performance: Total yards: NU 690, Illinois 299; First Downs: NU 32, Illinois 14; Time of Possession: NU 37:04, Illinois 22:56; Third Down Conversions: NU 11 of 19, Illinois 1 of 11.
