Bret Bielema is 7-4 coming out of a bye week

[thall_]

better than I expected, but my hope is rising as time goes on.

if we make another leap like we did during the last bye week, there's a good chance we steal this win. There isn't a single player on that Illinois roster that is used to success, so its possible they'll come in sleepy expecting to cruise.

Not sure why you think that’s better than expected. He has a winning record in 10 out of 13 seasons as a head coach in the BIG and SEC. We are underdogs for a reasons and it would be a nice win.

Because as I went through the years, he was 2-4 at one point, but ended up doing better towards the end of his Wisconsin tenure as well as at Arkansas

Since there “isn’t a single player on that [Nebraska] roster that is used to success”, it should be a wash.

Nebraska doesn’t have the media blowing smoke up their ass, though
