Illinois vs. Nebraska Game Summary

Both teams were able to play an extremely close game and this game lived up to the hype surrounding it. Both quarterbacks stepped up against strong defenses. The Illinois defense was able to step up in overtime to secure a win as they were able to record back-to-back sacks to make things difficult. Dylan Raiola was not able to get anything going in overtime as he took three sacks in the drive.

This game was an outstanding start to the week but Indiana was able to keep the game close and took advantage of Raiola's lack of experience later in the game.
