Nebraska Football: Containing the Illinois offense a point of emphasis

It’s no secret that Illinois will not be an easy test for Nebraska Football on Saturday. The first game of conference play is always tough for any program. Now, Nebraska wants to continue to build solid momentum. A win on the road would be able to do wonders.

One of the things that Illinois quarterback Brandon Peters brings to the program is his ability to run the football. There is no doubt that he has a very solid arm. However, his dual-threat ability makes it difficult for defenses to gameplan against him. Running is not his strong suit, but there is reason to pay attention to him.
