Start to finish, our gameplan on both sides of the ball was absolutely superb. Nebraska had no idea what was coming next all night. Massive credit also to our line coaches in Miller and Jamison and our strength and conditioning crew. Not only did our linemen come to play from the opening whistle, they imposed their will on a highly talented opponent, breaking the will of Nebraska's vaunted lines by the 4th quarter. You could see in the 4th quarter and OT, Nebraska's lines were cooked, huffing and puffing with hands on their hips. They were done and just wanted to go home while we looked ready to play another half of football.

I was literally coming here to see if anyone had shouted out Tank and the s&c crew, because they had no answer for ILL’s level of conditioning. Give that man a raise.

Actually, I would like to revisit the Kansas board and ask if they still think Illinois is terrible and won’t win more than 3 games.

I'm reading a lot of Nebraska people saying the refs stole the game from them. The refs were not perfect, but things go both ways. The Nebraska player in OT still had one foot in bounds, and flopped like LeBron. The missed facemask at the end of the first half was a huge turning point that gave Nebraska 7 points. So spare me your tears.

their 5 (and should have been 6) facemask personal fouls stole the game from them.

i honestly dont recall ever seeing that many in one game and the fact they couldn't eliminate it would leave me worried if i were a Husker-Du

Their better not be another post saying that we should’ve added a starting qb in the portal

Tank gets a lot of credit for this win. We kept giving them body shots all game and by the end of the game we just bullied them

Ahen and the defensive staff get a ton of credit. They have done a great job disguising and switching coverages. They also have mixed thing up to get pressure. The stats won’t show it but schematically this is a better defense than Walter’s defense.

The trenches were supposed to be a strength for Nebraska and we just punch them in the mouth

The announcers were atrocious as well. Altmeyer with better completion percentage all game but all they could talk about was Mahomes little clone. Also Learfield needs to get the streaming of the audio fixed. I can't pause the audio anymore to sync it up with the game. All Illini fans know how terrible the booth can be against us. This needs fixed ASAP!

All fanboards are a mess after a loss and we know that better than most, but I will say that the Nebraska boards are an absolute sight to behold right now. The posters who were brash in the pregame mocking our team and fanbase talking blowout are losing their minds saying stuff like if the refs called a fair game they would've won by 14 and that us Illini deserve no credit for the win. The more conservative members seem to be doing their best to reign them in, telling them to shut the hell up but even they're apoplectic about what their coordinators and players were doing. They're in complete meltdown mode- closest comparison I can make is how our fanbase was after the Northwestern loss in basketball during the Skyy year.

I really never had an issue with the Nebraska fanbase before this game, but I think the offseason and 3-0 start went to some of their heads making them behave like Michigan fans.
