When you hear the slogan “There’s no place like Nebraska” this Friday night game should come to mind. It’s the 400th consecutive sellout game at Memorial Stadium with the Nebraska Cornhuskers hosting Illinois Fighting Illini at 7 p.m.

As we prepare for the excitement and pride of our ‘Friday Night Lights’ game, Greg and Minnie will discuss last week’s epic win 34-3 over the University of Northern Iowa and how the mistakes from that game (which were quickly overcome) are key elements to help Nebraska dominate against the Illini.

There are SO MANY SIMILARITIES in this upcoming game;

Friday night will be both teams first B1G conference game

Currently, Nebraska is 3-0 and Illinois is 3-0

Both teams finished 2023 with a 5-7 record

QB play this season has drastically improved for each team

Both Matt Rhule and Bret Bielema believe in emphasizing complimentary football while having a strong running game, great special teams, consistent passing play and being the most physical team on the field.

With these similarities, each team will utilize every talent, trick and advantage they have for this game on Friday night. It could be those “advantages” that could make all the difference. See you Thursday night at 9pm central!

GBR!!!
