5 HEART: NEBRASKA VS. ILLINOIS WHO WILL BE 4-0 THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT MEMORIAL STADIUM
Corn Nation September 18, 2024 11:43 am
As we prepare for the excitement and pride of our ‘Friday Night Lights’ game, Greg and Minnie will discuss last week’s epic win over the University of Northern Iowa and how the mistakes from that game (which were quickly overcome) are key elements to help Nebraska dominate against the Illini.
Thus far this season, the Illini have shown dominance in complimentary football with an emphasis on a strong running game and aggressive, physical play.
But there are SO MANY SIMILARITIES in this upcoming game;
Friday night will be both teams first B1G conference game
Currently, Nebraska is 3-0 and Illinois is 3-0
Both teams finished 2023 with a 5-7 record
QB play this season has drastically improved for each team
Both Matt Rhule and Bret Bielema believe in emphasizing complimentary football while having a strong running game, great special teams, consistent passing play and being the most physical team on the field.
With all the similarities, each team will utilize every talent, trick and advantage they have for this game on Friday night. It could be those “advantages” that could make all the difference. See you Thursday night at 9pm central!
GBR!!!
