Illinois vs Nebraska Game Preview

Why Illinois Will Win

The defense continues to be a brick wall.

Illinois might not always be scintillating, but you know what you’re getting.

The offense is going to run, the passing game will keep everything safe as it controls the clock and has the ball for around 35 minutes. The D will do the rest.

The Illini are No. 1 in the nation in total and scoring defense, second against the run, and they’re great at forcing teams to turn it over. Nebraska doesn’t have the offense to overcome any of it.

The Husker running game will struggle to get to 100 yards, it’ll seem like the O is never on the field, and the run defense that’s the worst in the Big Ten is about to get hammered on.

But …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why Nebraska Will Win

The Huskers are playing better.

They might have lost to Purdue two weeks ago, but the passing game opened it up a little bit, the ground attack averaged over five yards per carry, and overall the team is doing a decent job of battling the moment.

Whether it was the rocky win over Rutgers, the strong performance by the O against Indiana, or the fight against the Boilermakers, this is a different-looking bunch – it’s having a little success.

Illinois isn’t going to run away with this even if everything is working. The score will never be too far out of reach, if at all, but …

What’s Going To Happen

You can’t turn the ball over against the Illini, and Nebraska will.

The Huskers will throw well enough to matter early on, but they’ll have problems closing out drives with points. On the other side, Illinois will be Illinois and grind, grind, grind.

It’ll always have the ball, the defense will come up with two takeaways, and the time of possession battle will be monstrously tipped one way.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will meet the Illinois Fighting Illini in a Big Ten matchup from Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Nebraska is coming off a disappointing season last year under Scott Frost by only winning three games, they will look to improve this year when they take the field for their first game on Saturday. As for Illinois, they are in the same boat, only winning two games last year but they did land a new coach in Bret Bielema and he should have a different plan and outlook on this year as head coach of the Illini.

This should be a great start to college football on Saturday, here is everything you need to know to stream the game.

Why Illinois Will Win

This has turned into a Final Four-caliber team over the last few weeks – at least, it has turned into a team that can make a deep run in the tournament. It’s a solid shooting team, and it makes up for the problems from three with a whole lot of rebounds at both ends.

The offense is moving the ball around well, it’s making the extra pass for easy shots, and the offensive rebounding is clearing everything up.

Nebraska, on the flip side, continues to struggle. It has yet to win a Big Ten game, the scoring has stalled, and even when it came up with a decent performance for 30ish minutes against Wisconsin, it was still a blowout loss.

But …

Why Nebraska Will Win

The Huskers can rebound.

That’s Step One against Illinois. If you get blasted on the boards, that’s it. Nebraska will hold its own on the boards, and should stop anything Illinois wants to do from the outside – this is a strong D from three, only allowing one team to hit 40%in the last nine games.

Will going on the road matter at all for the Illini? This is only the second time since January 7th and third time since Christmas that the team has been away from Champaign, and the Huskers are way overdue to catch a few big breaks at home, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Illinois shouldn’t have a problem.

The Huskers will hold up defensively just long enough to make the Illini sweat, but over the long haul the lead will slowly get bigger and bigger until it turns into a run.

Making things worse will be Nebraska on the free throw line it hasn’t hit the 50% mark over the last three games from the stripe.
