Interesting all the people saying a defense on pace to give up 500 yards is playing great

Points allowed > Yards allowed.This defense needs confidence right now. Preserving goose eggs will provide it.

Inept offensive coordinator > good defense

Illinois should honestly be up 10-7 right now at least. We got away with some pretty ugly plays.

that's part of football. I can't remember any husker wins where we didn't get away with some ugly plays.

As long as Lunt keeps throwing this way we should be fine

 

[Norhusker]

Their QB is doing us some favors!

I'm surprised at how good our secondary is at giving the incomplete signal...........they don't have much practice at it.

Had good coverage on the inside slant on 2nd down there.

This is going to be one of those Northwestern-like games where we fumble 3 punts isn't it?

We gave them the ball back off a punt and annopen receiver in the endzone dropped the ball. They should have had 14 points off that. They also missed 6 off two FGs. We are getting lucky so far.

I don't care what the scoreboard says, giving up 500 yards to Illinois is terrible.
We're lucky to be winning this game, should be down 3 scores.

Who has given up 500??? So was sparty lucky today??

Dude, if you think that the defense has been good today, I need some of what you're smoking.

Seriously. PM me.

Nice stop there tho.

Penalties, tho. Ugh.

 

[Norhusker]

Wilbon is so far in the doghouse!!!

I'm thinking so. He would likely be the starter by now.

2 sacks before the half and up 7-0. WE GOING TO INDY BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Who will be in at running back for this series?
