Nebraska Takes a Step Back in Loss to Illinois

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. All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
