This game will be a shootout and the Husker offense will outscore whatever Illinois puts on the board...

I have no confidence in the Defense. 45-42 NU

Dana Hulse

Because the suspect part of our defense is the part between the opponents offensive line and the end zone,

Kenny

Husker defense SUCKS!

Doug Johnson

Their QB will put points on the board, and the Huskers won't be able to stop that....at least not often enough. Let's call it a 55 to 48 Husker win.

Eli Becker

They have a chance to get better as the season goes along, but at this point 30 seems low against an offense that is humming along with Scheelhaase running things.

Terry Busch

our defense sucks

Mathew Baker

The Husker defense is not very well coached and Illinois offense is.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
