#22 Nebraska vs #24 Illinois PREDICTIONS & X-FACTORS | RHULE'S STATEMENT | Husker Football 2024

[@BigRedHomesteadMedia]

Husker Nation!! HUGE game this week! GBR! Thanks for watching!

[@TheJpwzrd]

Good morning gentlemen, this evening shall be fun

[@FlexYourFreedoms]

These 2 nerds are my favorite when talking about the Huskers

[@Indianabones319]

Emmitt has the best vision of all of our running backs. It has been evident since last year. He should be on the field.

[@duke2311]

I have no doubt he will play enough, just a matter of when and in what situations

[@ktroe777]

Let’s goooooo! GBR!!!!! 🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@koltonmann5960]

In most of the games we have played our starters have not finished the game because of the lead they have secured. I can see a scenario where we win more-handedly because our starters are taking care of business for the entire game.

[@willie1ne1]

Great content & energy, doing better on interrupting each other.

[@bennettrubingh]

Caleb has jinxed us

[@kylewilliam4230]

Ayyyy GBR!!!

[@coryrosendale6591]

I’m going 27-17 BIG RED! 🎈

[@CraigKerwood-001]

I was there for the Northern Iowa game. On every down, the crowd made it hard for UNI to hear resulting in some miscues and timeouts. I got Nebraska 24, Illinois 17.

[@BurntWorld]

Be Loud Sea of Red!!! D Needs Your Help!!! 📢☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🐻‍❄️📢

[@Christianblue92]

Raiola is so locked in. His freshman moment will come, but i know he will bounce back quickly and well from it when and if it does happen.

[@MySaviorisJesusChrist]

Nu 28-16 Go Big Red!

[@patobrien9446]

weather will be a factor more running than passing 24-13

[@Christianblue92]

I am going to go out on a limb. Central michigan would have competed to win that game if they played slightly more sound football. I got a huge blowout game in lincoln. 41-12 nebraska. 🌽

[@rossmosher2105]

If u watched the presser he talked about it and said that refs have told him that yes they automatically review it but sometimes the review is wrong so u have a 50 50 chance if u challange it.. and the fact that the game was in hand so that timeout wasn't a big deal..

[@brendensramek7440]

This is what I wanted to comment, talking about this as an “issue” with rhule is absolutely ridiculous.

[@joereeves9724]

I’ve been wondering about hartzog myself both touchdowns our defense has given up he was the one burned in man coverage both times

[@alexanderthegreatandterrib4589]

Not sure why people have been so high on Mazucca. He graded the worst of the starting linemen against Colorado and my guess is that is why he got benched for Lutofsky and maybe why he blew up at the coaches. Also, Benhart and Corcoran graded poorly versus Colorado's rush with 43 and 39 grades. I think the biggest X-factor of those mentioned will be how Riola handles the pressure since I don't see Corcoran nor Benhart holding the line very well.

[@huskerforlife5111]

We win this game it will catapult us!

[@donyork8641]

I doubt Rhule made challenge decision in vacuum. Assistants saw something too. Also, game was clearly won by then, so likely challenged to send message to team he's fighting for them.

[@travisturner873]

21 17 huskers BLACKSHIRTS come up big..GBR!!!

[@philelliott4691]

31-13 gang!!!

[@nickkinnaman2855]

GBR!

[@Allnightexplor]

Guys, this is the 400 sellout. That means something here!

[@Corn_Stache]

If it’s a 20-16 game we would be a team praying to make a bowl game. 🙄

[@1216Rocker]

Micah Mazucca is back but won’t start.

[@1216Rocker]

38-13 GBR.

[@OneBadSailor91]

34-10... GBR!!!

[@conradferguson6367]

Huskers 27 - Illinois 17

[@Stormwrangler3659]

We r 22

[@michaeljohnson5925]

Ill WR < Col WR's .... Held those guys in check, not sure why they would not be able to lock in ILL. I can't see ILL scoring more than 10 against the Blackshirts

[@smokiej579]

I hope so as well, however, one thing to keep in mind is that our secondary didn't have to cover for a long time typically, as out front was getting after Sheduer all night. Don't know if that will be the same against Illinois, ee will see

[@korbykobus504]

I see what you are saying here. However, Colorado had darn-near zero offensive line support. No time for CO receivers to get open or bounce routes. IL offensive line will buy their QB a lot more time. I hope I am wrong, but just my gut feeling. Let see. GBR!

[@patrichards6087]

31 to 3 Nebraska

[@spencersmith4373]

You guys are too high on EJ. Hes solid, but Dowdell looks more explosive and decisive and is the clear #1. The coaches see the same thing.

[@toryshafer1961]

I really don’t see the offense stalling because their run defense is just so bad lol

[@ryanmacke150]

Illinois does not have a pass rush advantage.

[@benjaminfinley6417]

Man why does it feel like Nebraska is one hurt person (quarterback) away from having a rough season.

[@ilikecheeseburger42]

That’s pretty much every team, thankfully, Dylan has barely been touched this year.

[@HuskerPower97]

PTSD

[@latecomerr]

NU by 40

[@midstar3498]

31-14 Nebraska

[@MichealJames-b7n]

lol 20 points

[@alwaysplaythegame]

Nebraska 20, Illinois 17. I'm not sold on us being as mistake-free as we've been and think we'll lose the turnover margin this time.

[@James_DeanII]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks hartzog sucks.

[@kylewilliam4230]

He definitely doesn’t, “suck” but yeah he’s probably our lowest spot out of our DBs

[@James_DeanII]

@kylewilliam4230 dude has given up 18 receptions for 219 yards and doesn't have a single pass break up. He also leads the team in missed tackles he hangs around the bottom of all PFF grades in every category. He doesn't tackle and gets beat consistently. Through the eyes of statistics, it says he sucks. You are right he is the lowest spot.
