Analysts were saying we were going to be outperformed in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Pleasantly surprised that turned out to be…

We have some serious dudes on this team.

Yes. I feel like this was a culture win.

It’s fun to watch players that take pride in their role, get knocked down but bounce back to make the next play, and have a little nastiness to their attitude.

I felt the spirit of Spoon and others on the field.

Everyone that wanted Nebby to win crying about the no call on the shove after the play in OT. What about the no call facemask that would have given us a 1st down in FG range to seal the game. It shouldn't even have went to OT. Cry some more of those husker tears.... We won this game flat out! Super excited to see where this goes! I-L-L

Great Game! Both OL and DL look much improved from week to week! Several incredible plays to help us win this game. Nebraska being undisciplined helped also. Gave us some key penalties. We absolutely looked like the stronger team in the 4th and OT. Lunney and Henry with great calls. I still don’t think we have the depth on the lines that we need. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we develop some of the youngsters along the way. Keep Rolling Illini!

I saw Pat Farrell getting a bunch of snaps as well as Alex Bray. Will have to re-watch on some of the others on the DL like J.Warren, Sledge, etc. Really happy for how Gabe has started off the year doing whatever from wherever.

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!

Maybe already said, credit Lunney/staff for sticking with run game.
The big boys upfront in 4Q seemed to be wearing down the Huskers.

Haven’t read the entire thread yet so apologies if this has been answered already, but will BTN replay the game for those who missed the game last night? 🙋‍♂

Great effort and superb play calling. For once it was the other team making crucial mistakes. Very clean game on our part minus a couple of fumbles. Mad props to the Husker crowd they were great. Can't say enough good things about the players and the staff.
Nebby is pretty good, if they can clean up some things they will be a bowl team.

On to PSU. Will be another step up. Lets get to 6 wins early then play with house money the rest of the way.

The game replay is already available on demand through fox on the fox sports app, and I would also assume through cable providers as well. BTN would only likely show the game in 60. My guess is FS1/FS2 will also show the game sometime this week.

Tim Brando is ancient and was always pretty stale, but i liked the analysis from his partner.

I agree. I thought he was really good. I didn't know who hw was until I looked it up. Devin Gardner, the former Michigan do it all player. As much as I root against Michigan he was fun to watch.
