It turns out that the likes of FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt and many of his sports TV brethren who were advising the nation to “buy stock in Nebraska” were a bit premature.
It might’ve been different. The Huskers could have — and very likely would have — won the game if Dylan Raiola hits wide-open tight end Luke Lindenmeier in the end zone on third-and-three from the 21-yard line with about three minutes left in regulation. Defensive back Tommi Hill and left tackle Turner Corcoran left the game with injuries that were not specified after the game. Hill’s injury, if serious, would be very costly. As for Corcoran, the Huskers moved the ball as well or better with redshirt freshman Gunner Gottula filling in, but they are now paper-thin at that position if Corcoran cannot return.
It was not a proud night for the Blackshirts, who gave up more than 24 points for the first time in 10 games and could manage only two tackles for loss. Illinois ran the ball down their throat in the fourth quarter, getting an astounding 100 of their 166 rushing yards down the stretch. Four different Illinois ball carriers gashed the Huskers for gains of 11, 16, 7, 9, 8, 21 and 21 yards as they ran the ball 15 times in the fourth quarter and once more in overtime.
