Nebraska did a great job stopping our run to start, but our passing game made them look like Shooter McGavin when Happy Gilmore learns to putt. That opened up our run game later and they looked tired as the game wore on.
Illinois 31, Nebraska 24 OT Postgame
Then I’d really prefer it for UM game.
Loren Tate seemed to think with both centuries of his experience we would get nowhere running the ball.
Can I get a link? Asking for a friend
Come on over to husker board!
Yeah a bit undisciplined there for sure...hope we can clean it up.
I mean...that LSU/SC game - they didn't call one late in the fourth (on LSU) that was MUCH more deserving of a call IMO.
Wow. Wearing my 77 jersey brought us a win. Now on to Pen St. they faced a big crowd and preserved. PSU will be the same. 1-0 on rematch.

I really like using all of our running backs
Great observation. We really trucked them toward the end with the running game.
Victory Illini!

Where to start ??????????..........What a game and what a performance by the Illini offense , defense and special teams........A gritty performance worthy of the win as we battled the whole game and scored the last 14 points of the game for the OT victory..........
Altmyer with 4 TD passes ............FOUR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the 4 RB committee......always a fresh runner in and the run by Feagin for 21 yds to start the OT was a game changer......
Then lining up Bryant in the backfield for a wide open TD catch was special......
Kudos to DC Henry for some great calls and the blitzing in OT was excellent........
4-0 baby............1-0 in the B$G..........wowsa...................
love our Illini pru............i really really do.................
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY.............ILLINI WIN..............CALL ME LATER BABE.............
Oh no , here comes another Illini blitz.........run for your life......................
REJOICE AND ENJOY THIS VICTORY , ILLINI NATION...............I AM ...............I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY AM.............WOWSA...
For all the run game concerns...particularly the "team" category...
As much as I'd love for this to happen, UGA/Bama is next weekend and there's next to no chance they go anywhere else.
Incredible victory on the road. They couldn't handle our running game and our defense made big plays when it muttered. Altmeyer was absolutely clutch.
We also benefited from some g*dawful coaching by Rhule. The decision to kick at 3rd and 3 with a non-kicker was not a good one. And Rhule's clock and coach's challenge management was bad as well. I hope Rhule stays a husker fir a long time.

Kansas Game John is feeling very lucky!
Maybe a mistake putting their defense right back on the field again to start overtime?

Altmyer reminded me a lot of kittner tonight.
Great throws, smart, soft touch when needed. Passing game opened the run, and the run opened the pass. Balanced! Their d couldn’t get comfortable.
Good to see McCray play well, feagin killed it. Playmakers at receiver, db, especially but really everywhere. I was skeptical this game coming in but not anymore! Go illini! 4-0

Or, hear me out. Upset Penn State next week and beat Purdue. 6-0 Illinois vs 5-1 Michigan (if they get it together) could look enticing for ESPN.
Sorry my Illini friend.... Butters was watching tonight, every fan counts!
Always brother, always!
