IL had 6 returns for 194 yards for a 32.3 average and a long of 58. Our kicking game is absolutely killing us. UNL has over 26,000 students. Wasn't one of them a servicable kicker in high school and if so, can't they get him on the team?
Illinois was winning the field position battle all night long, even when NU didn't turn the ball over. That's one of the reasons the Huskers piled up so many yards, and needed every last one of them.
