Husker247 HypeCast: Illinois

It’s Husker247 HypeCast time as the gang is joined by Kevin Sjuts to discuss Nebraska-Illinois and the Friday night game ahead. Things start with a discussion about offense. Who starts at quarterback and how can the Huskers attack this Illinois defense? From there conversation shifts to things like Nebraska’s offensive line, it’s passing game and different ways to get different pieces involved. There’s even some kicker talk about the rough start to a still promising career for Tristan Alvano. After offense it’s defense and the big central discussion is whether or not what we saw with the Huskers against Michigan is more about Nebraska or if Michigan is simply that good. Then there’s conversation about the pass rush, the injuries and who on Illinois has the ability to make Friday a difficult one on defense.Finally there’s oddly specific predictions, picks to click and game predictions. Both teams end up with predictions to win. Who took who? Listen and find out.Also as a bonus for those traveling to Champaign, Sjuts provides a passionate speech on why the best route to the game isn’t found on the interstate, but through the highway of northern Missouri.
