Illinois in 2018 owns a 4-5 overall record, while Nebraska is at 2-7.
The Fighting Illini are traveling to Nebraska, but the Cornhuskers are big favorites in the game. Illinois is coming off a 55-31 win over Minnesota and coach Lovie Smith feels that his offense can get things done against the Huskers.
Kickoff is set for noon on Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. The game will be televised on BTN.
Ahead of the game featuring two B1G teams under .500, Illinois put out a hype video on Twitter:

In last year’s contest between the two teams, Illinois lost 28-6 at home. This year will be much different from a personnel standpoint, however, as Nebraska coach Scott Frost is in his first season, as is his dynamic QB Adrian Martinez.
