No. 22 Nebraska Football Leads No. 24 Illinois at Halftime
In the 400th consecutive sellout of Memorial Stadium, the Nebraska Cornhuskers hold a lead at halftime.
No. 22 Nebraska leads No. 24 Illinois 17-10 at the half. NU has led at halftime of every game this season.
The Husker offense took some time to get going, punting after a single first down on the opening drive. The next offensive possession saw a more than eight-minute drive end with a short field goal.
The field goal was an answer to Illinois racing downfield for an easy touchdown on their opening drive. The next possession wasn’t so successful, as Blackshirt John Bullock ripped the ball free. The Big Red scored a touchdown four plays later.
After Illinois tied the game 10-10 with their own field goal, Nebraska looked to be answering with another scoring drive. Dylan Raiola threw a beautiful ball to the end zone but the Illini defender ripped the ball from Isaiah Neyor, giving the freshman QB a second tough-luck interception in as many games.
The Illini did nothing with the extra possession, coming up short on a fourth down in Nebraska territory.
With 3:22 to go in the half, NU burned 3:06 and got a highlight-reel touchdown catch from Neyor to take the lead into halftime.
Nebraska has outgained Illinois in total yards 235-160. Neither team has run the ball particularly well, though NU does have 79 yards to UI’s 37.
Raiola is 16-for-23 for 156 yards and two touchdowns, with that one interception. Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer is 9-for-12 for 123 yards and a touchdown.
Illinois will have the ball to begin the second half.
