Scott Frost wanted there to be a Nebraska football season and after the Cornhuskers fell to 1-4 with a 41-23 walloping by Illinois on Saturday, the Fighting Illini’s social-media team reminded him.
Good game Nebraska. Thanks for bringing back B1G football.

Classic Twitter trash-talk.
The Cornhuskers fell to 1-3 with the 18-point defeat. Illinois also reminded Nebraska its big wins over the school aren’t frequent.
Big wins in Lincoln –

This came after the indignity of one of the worst fake punts you will witness on fourth-and-8 somehow turning into an Illinois first down in the third quarter.
