Husker247 HypeCast: Illinois

Hopefully everyone enjoyed another brief intermission because that’s the last time this season Nebraska won’t be playing on a Saturday. And this Saturday the stage is set for the Huskers to duke it out with Illinois, the ranked team in the drivers seat for the Big Ten West, just two years removed from a coaching change.  Can Nebraska play spoiler? Can the Huskers slow down Chase Brown? Are we hyped yet? This HypeCast features a regular guest in Kevin Sjuts, who reprises his role as the guy we go to when talking Illini football.  This year Sjuts has kept a close eye on the Illini and he provides a breakdown of some areas where the Huskers could be in trouble.  Additionally Michael Bruntz highlights the importance of Anthony Grant and what the Huskers have to do to get off the field against an Illinois offense that has chugged along all season.  Each, along with Mike Schaefer, make oddly specific predictions and provide a pick to click before making a final score prediction.  How do they see this one turning out?
