After an embarrassing loss in West Lafayette in a rivalry matchup, things can’t get much worse for the Illini heading forward, right?
Luckily for the Illini, they are heading into Week 6 going head to head with a team that has struggled just as much as they have: Nebraska.
“This week is a lot about us,” said head coach Bret Bielema. “I was kind of stressing the importance of the week more than anything.”
If the orange and blue want any chance at even making a bowl game this season, they need to start with a win this Friday.
