If you're planning your Friday around Husker football, here's the setup. Nebraska (5-3) is seeking to snap a three-game losing streak and earn bowl eligibility at Illinois, with kickoff at 7 p.m. on Fox and the Huskers Radio Network. Coach Matt Rhule said Monday of the latest loss: “that was a game that we felt like we could win, we should win, and we would win.”

Illinois (5-3) is on a three-game winning streak, the latest a win over Maryland on a game-winning field goal as time expired. Quarterback Katin Houser is back from a hand injury, with 1,663 yards and 13 touchdowns. Receiver Collin Dixon has 781 yards and 10 touchdowns.
