Illinois at Nebraska
(NCAAF) Fighting Illini (ILL) vs. Cornhuskers (NEB),
Point Spread: 8.50 | -110.00 Fighting Illini (ILL) (Away)
Result: Win
Too soon to jump on the Cornhusker bandwagon? Not if you ask the folks in Lincoln, especially as they are ga-ga over frosh QB Dylan Raiola, who has sparked an offense that was sluggish at best in Matt Rhule's Nebraska debut a year ago, partly because of uninspiring QB play. Still, the 3-0 start has Huskers fans excited, especially with the defense picking up where it left off a year ago when ranking in the top 15 nationally. Bret Bielema, however, thinks his Fighting Illini are on the upswing, too, with the defense also excelling in this 3-0 start and ex-Ole Miss QB Luke Altmyer looking more comfy at the controls of the offense as he limits mistakes. That's the sort of recipe that can get Illinois back to a bowl (maybe a good bowl) and currently has the Fighting Illini in the Top 25. Play Illinois
