Our David McGee pretty much nailed what happened in Champaign between the Huskers and the Illini:
You know what this game feels a little bit like? Iowa State 2004.

For those of you who either weren't old enough or have purged that from your memory banks, that 2004 game between the Huskers and Iowa State was played in that wind tunnel known as Jack Trice Stadium. Despite Cory Ross gashing the Cyclones for 6.6 yards each time he touched the ball, Bill Callahan elected to have Joe Dailey throw the ball 42 times.
