Did not expect us to be pushed around on the lines tonight. Disappointing all around
Lost this one in the trenches

I thought our OL may struggle without Mazz, but man the DL was disappointing.
IF you watched Illinois' first couple of games and compare it to tonight, this was an entirely different team. They made some huge changes for this game. Nebraska didn't do anything different other than realize nothing they practiced for showed up in this game. Nebraska got outcoached.
Why not we were pushed around last week. I expect it to continue.
They ran a few basic (and predictable) blitzes on passing downs and had free runners coming right at Riaola. Not sure we were affective at picking up their blitz at any point. We just flat out looked poorly prepared in all three phases. Offense C- Defense and Special Teams D- (might as well be an F)
Either Nash or Ty is getting double teamed on about every snap. Sometimes both. We've got a couple 2nd level guys who are not aggressive to their gap responsibility. I wonder if they would play someone like Maverick Noonan at OLB and just move him to a 3 pt stance in the C gap with Butler on the other side and play more of a 4-3.
