Nebraska seemingly wanted Illinois to win. The Illini lost by 13.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Not sure where the Big Ten win will come from now.

Missed opportunity after missed opportunity was the theme for Illinois Friday night at Memorial Stadium against fellow Big Ten West foe Nebraska.

You’d think after getting embarrassed against your former defensive coordinator last week and the program’s best defensive player of all-time dying that the team would want to respond nicely, right? Well, guess not.

In what could have been a get-right kind of win for Illinois, Nebraska was who left victorious by a score of 20-7.

Same Illinois, same story.
