If the team plays like they did against Colorado, they will beat Rutgers, Indiana, UCLA and possibly Iowa or Wisconsin. Thus I see them picking up at least 3 more wins against these teams.

After 5 games into the season, here is what I have learned: 1. The QB and WRs are MUCH better than last season 2. The running game is not as good as I expected 3. The overall D has taken a slight step back from last season 4. Special teams appears to be worse than ever 5. Team discipline is still an issue regarding penalties. The team has cleaned up turnovers. Overall, some small strides have been made from past season but we have yet to face the toughest part of the schedule. These small strides should yield at least a 6-6 or 7-5 season.

I am not a fan of the Nebraska Panthers.

The O line has no idea how to open up holes. If Dylan were not on the team his uncle Donovan would be gone.

God I hate this program. I have no idea why I watch this crap.

Many high school teams execute better than this crappy game.

No special teams blocking on the punt return...go figure.

Our running game is nonexistent. Purdue is ranked 131 out of 133 teams in Rush defense. This staff just sucks.

Thats my point. Our rushing game is nonexistent.

Purdue has one of the worst rushing defenses in the country and we are just passing the ball.

We call a timeout to lose 10 yards. This team is so hard to watch.

Yes that was a horrible call. But the reality is that this Nebraska team is not much better overall than last season. Instead of 7-0, Nebraska is likely to be 4-3 heading into the Ohio State game and 4-4 heading into November.

Yep its going to be messy for this game. Likely nonstop soaking rains. Injuries and ball control are a concern.

Last week I felt this team could go 9-3 or 10-2. Now it feels like it could be 6-6 or 7-5. We likely will lose to OSU and USC and the games against Rutgers, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin are all tossups. Now, perhaps Illinois is really good this year and they will beat Penn State, Michigan or Oregon. If so, that makes last night's loss not as bad.

Key Stats: 1. Illinois had fewer total yards against Kansas and Central Michigan than Nebraska ( the OT yards made it close to CMU) 2. The Altmeyer led Illini team only scored 7 points at home vs Nebraska in 2023. The O has improved considerably while the D has taken a step back.

We should have kept running the ball on 3rd and 3 after we were having success on that drive. Nebraska is horrible at situational play calling.

This program really has not grown. We may have a better QB but everything else is the same. Coaches suck, special teams suck, both lines suck.

This defense is sh*t.

The 3rd down call when we were running well may cost the game. If you get 2 yards its 4th and short.

This game is over. Illinois has a great FG kicker.

I have a feeling that dumb challenge which cost a timeout may come back to haunt us.

Tony White is way overrated. No halftime adjustments.

The D line is getting no push at all. Perhaps the D is overrated

This D will get chewed up by mobile QBs that can throw. They are lost.

The rush defense is horrible tonight. Tony White needs to step up.
