I predicted a blow out last week, but the goal line fumbles spelled an end to that guess........

This week I am going to go with:

Huskers 38 Fighting Ills 20
 
They are 93rd in pass efficiency defense and Nebraska's best position group in receivers. Their pass yards allowed is respectable. My only concern is Nebraska is one injury away at the OL from pulling the redshirt on Boe Wilson. Assuming that the OL holds up and Nebraska takes care of the ball, I could see this getting ugly. There's no way the bad taste from last year's game isn't still in the back of the player's minds.
 
Reading the tea leaves didn't help, so guessing 45 - 14 NU wins.

Not sure how focused some of the team is. Seems a couple starters are more focused on other things. Im hoping I am wrong. I am saying:

Huskers 35
Illini 31
 
Kinda think NU puts it all together tomorrow, then we'll wish we didn't have a bye coming up.

48 - 13 Nebraska.
