Nebraska and Illinois played an excellent football game last night in Lincoln.

The Cornhuskers, led by freshman QB Dylan Raiola, played the Illini well heading into the 4th quarter, taking a late 24-17 lead. From that point, it fell apart at the seams. Illinois answered right back and went on to win in overtime, 31-24.

But some Nebraska fans argue the game ended premature. Devin Gardener and Tim Brando, who were calling the game, felt the below play should have been called a personal foul for this late hit by Illinois defender Seth Coleman.

See for yourself:

If it was called the Huskers would have received a first down, massive considering they were about to attempt to convert a 4th and forever. Should it have truly been a flag? Probably not, as his foot had just gone out of bounds and it wasn’t that hard of a hit anyway.

Could it have been called? Absolutely. We’ve seen flags fly for much less. But it’s an awful lot to ask for a Nebraska team that put itself in a terrible situation to begin with.

The Illini look like the real deal after their win the Huskers – especially defensively – and remain undefeated on the season at 4-0.
