Nebraska Football vs Illinois: Start time, live stream, TV info and more

The Nebraska football team has a tall order ahead of it when it comes to trying to upend the 17th-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. They’re going to need to find a way to get Illinois to stop doing what it doesn’t best, which is play stifling defense.

There is a bit of a ray of hope in that regard, considering that Casey Thompson and Trey Palmer showed what an explosive combination they can be when they really get going. It feels like it’s been a long time since the Huskers had a real offensive weapon the caliber of Palmer.

Of course, in order to get the ball to Palmer, they’re going to have to find a way to keep Thompson from running for his life and leaving the game due to injury. That is definitely easier said than done.

There’s going to be plenty of Nebraska football fans wanting to see whether or not the Cornhuskers can rise up and really give the Illini a game. Luckily, we’ve got all the details on how to watch and listen this Saturday.
