Illini with the worst defense in the B1G last year.  If we can come in and play decently we hopefully come out of here with a win.  Big game for both teams but bigger for Nebraska and for Scott Frost especially for a myriad of reasons.  Given the nature of where Frost's Huskers are right now I'd say Illinois is about is about as good of a B1G opponent as they could ask for in an opener.  This is a winnable opener.

If Nebraska can play mostly mistake free football (is this possible?) no reason why they shouldn't win this one.  My fingers are crossed however.

Agree.

Per the bolder: if Nebraska plays “mistake free”, they win by four TDs!
