The Illinois Fighting Illini take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers not only kick off the NCAAF season but will be kicking off their Big Ten conference action. The Cornhuskers have struggled under head coach Scoot Frost, who many thought would bring the magic back to the Cornhusker nation. He has yet to have a winning season at Nebraska, and in fact, the team won just three games last season. Adrian Martinez returns for his fourth season at quarterback, why he is still starting is anybody's guess. You would think there has to be someone else to start. He has passed for 5,600 yards and 31 touchdowns in his career. He also led the Cornhuskers in rushing last year.

The Fighting Illini won just two games last season, and went out and got a new head coach in Wisconsin legend Bret Bielema. Brandon Peters returns at quarterback and has nearly 3,000 career passing yards with 25 touchdowns. Chase Brown returns at running back where he rushed for 540 rushing yards.

It’s the first game of the season so I expect things will be a little sloppy and disjointed in the beginning. Nebraska should play better on the defensive end of the ball and I don't expect another three hundred-yard rushing day from Illinois. Illinois has a new coach but so you don't know what to expect. Being the first game out of the box I am looking for a low-scoring UNDER type of game.

Play on the UNDER.
