In the spirit of this weekend, some nostalgia from days gone by, a word from our guest captain
Bring the Loosiers back to reality on Saturday morning!I think we matchup pretty well against Indiana but their offense seems pretty good (though they haven't played even a decent defense yet), so that will be interesting to see. We come in as 7pt dogs in Bloomington for the Big Noon kickoff. Should be fun, hopefully we can pull it off and get back in the top 25 (before we play @tOSU and hope to keep it close haha).
GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND!
Indiana flipped a WR commit from us this summer. Seeing as we don't play them this year, it'd be a mighty nice consolation if y'all could thump them on SaturdayI think we matchup pretty well against Indiana but their offense seems pretty good (though they haven't played even a decent defense yet), so that will be interesting to see.

Apropos. The zebras stole the game from us in Whitman's senior year: https://www.news-gazette.com/sports...cle_a5cbd0c7-fdfe-53d3-961e-de9b9f8ecb9c.html
As a point of reference - we have beaten them six times since Ray Elliot left after the 1959 season.Never in my life have I ever heard any Illinois football fan even suggest that we might look past Michigan to the following game. This is a first.
Please tell me you don’t watch games with 5 buddies. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

That is definitely an Illini outcomeApropos. The zebras stole the game from us in Whitman's senior year: https://www.news-gazette.com/sports...cle_a5cbd0c7-fdfe-53d3-961e-de9b9f8ecb9c.html
And end all this Looiser nonsense... please...Husker fan here, checking in.
Glad you guys pulled it out vs Purdue and kept your good season alive!
I for one will be rooting quite strongly for you against the cheaters to the north. You've got 2 back to back tough games, but obviously @Oregon will probably the toughest one of the season.
But first....down with Michigan!
We had a super sloppy win against Rutgers but it didn't help we had 40+ MPH winds. Our defense finally showed up a bit more like we expected (they weren't bad all year, but we expected better).
I know you guys have Rutgers in Nov. While I don't think they're a bad team they're also not a great team. They do have a really good RB though (Monangai) who averages well over 100 a game. He started out gashing us pretty good in the first quarter (I think like 70 yards on 10 carries-ish) but then we shut him down the rest of the game.
Their offensive line was just ok and we got to Kaliakmanis (transfer QB from Minnesota) and he wasn't super impressive. Definitely possible to shut that offense down.
Their defense was decent, but Raiola had a terrible game with the wind. 2-9 in the 2nd half IIRC. I think if we played them under normal conditions we'd fare much butter.
As for Nebraska...as I said before you played us...our kicking game is atrocious and somehow it's gotten worse.
