24-21 bad guys. Night game, national TV, dual threat QB, huge running back, very good special teams. This is the kind of game that has broken our hearts so many times in the past years.

33-13 Huskers!

Offense repeats history and jumps out comfortably in the first half & Defense gets another Safety in this one... ILL points come in Q3/Q4 when backups are in again

I think he has rushed for less than 40 yards in 30 games. With 30 of those coming in the first game.

He CAN run, but they don't really put him in the run game.

Dang, we got some blowouts predicted here! Kind of nice to see Husker fans getting their MOJO back.

This match up is not bad for the Skers

Illini OL struggles a bit and the Illini DL is not all that impressive.

17-13 Huskers win. The first win against a rated team in 8 years so certain people on here will call on coaches to be fired.

I just read that OL Mazzccua will suit up and be available to play.

Can I change my prediction from 28-10 Huskers to 30-10 Huskers? 😎

NU 24 Illini 20. Bad guys run for 400 yards and control 45 minutes of the clock but Raiola works fast.

Man, I hope that doesn't happen or White will kill himself but not before taking half the D with him.
