The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a shot to knock off the No. 17/18 Illinois Fighting Illini today. It marks just the second time in all 20-meetings between the programs where the Illini enter the matchup ranked.
It would be the first win over a ranked opponent by Nebraska since a 35-32 victory over No. 22 Oregon on Sept. 17, 2016. The Huskers have dropped their past 19 games against ranked opponents.
A win would also send Bret Bielema home with an 0-2 record as head coach in games played in Memorial Stadium.
