Don't expect DPE to do much in this game other than a cameo appearance every once in a while.

What a cute, little stadium.IA State Husker said:Interesting stat! No "Sea of Red" has engulfed this stadium
Since 1986? So who on here is going to re-christen the place?

Obscure stat of the day:
Through 4 games Illinois has blocked 3 kicks and 2 punts. Good for #1 in the country in both categories.

I don't have a link, but in a recent press conference the ill coach said 3 things that made me happy.
Paraphrasing:
With injuries to starting TE's the WRs have had to stay in all game and they are getting tired by end of the game.
Something about the OL getting tired from run blocking all game
In his system the WR usually don't get it until halfway through the season.
WTH? He just admitted they have a conditioning problem and an overly complex offense?

I was guessing around 5-10 depending on how he handles practice. At minimum it will give Wisconsin something to think about.
Personally I will be really disappointed if Nebraska doesn't win this game by at least 14. I just don't think they are very good. After they won their first 2 games I sat down and watched them play at N. Carolina, it could be have been a bad day, but they really didn't look that good. Thy lost 42-14 and the game was never really close. N. Carolina is a very average team, that I think Nebraska should beat. They barely beat Middle Tennessee St. at home last Saturday.
IMO they got a boost from Beckman getting fired and played pretty well against 2 inferior teams to start the season. I think the reality is beginning to set in on them.
