The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s gut punch loss to Illinois:
- Huskers lose in familiar fashion, with late mistakes, crucial penalties, and an atrocious overtime performance.
- Outcoached, out-schemed, outplayed.
- Perhaps more concerning than anything was the performance of the defense, which never really looked to be in control.
- Re-setting expectations.
- Another underwhelming performance by the offensive line.
- Special teams still costing the Huskers.
- Another rough performance by the officials.
It wasn’t all bad, as the Huskers still almost pulled out the W even in the face of numerous mistakes and setbacks:
- Dylan Raiola is absolutely the real deal.
- Wide receivers Isaiah Neyor and Jahmal Banks shine.
- Thomas Fidone is back!
- Defense forcing turnovers at key moments.
- Reflecting on the 400th consecutive sellout.
- Time to turn the page and get back on track with a win against Purdue.
Finally, the Common Fans discuss the remaining schedule and whether/how much expectations have changed after the performance against Illinois.
