*** The Official Nebraska @ Illinois Game Thread ***

If he could not fix the penalties over the four years he has been here, he just can’t be successful at Nebraska. What is the penalty comparison for this game? Last year, as soon as I heard bielema went to Illinois, I knew they hit the jackpot. Based on our performance, this game might be the closest score against a Big opponent this year.

 
I was fairly pessimistic about the program this off season, so today's result (so far) has not really meant much to me. We've been down this road so many times now in the last couple of decades and this team doesn't look like it has made any progress beyond where they've been the last three seasons. Pure apathy from me.

I humored them by watching the first half today but that'll probably be the last of that this season.

 
I'm surprised we haven't seen more Betts. He was back to return the opening kickoff, so it's not like this game doesn't count against his 4 if they were planning on redshirting him. We need a home run.

 
The program is dead.  No matter who coaches this mess.  We can' t recruit in this league.  We can't, plain and simple.  We don't have the same horses that other teams have.  Our offense is worthless.  Amart is not a throwing QB.  Put in the option, and we might have a chance to win at least 4 games this season.

 
If our offense is just going to be AM dropping back to pass and then take off running, put Smothers in as he is WAY faster and might pick up more yards.
