Carriker Gut Reaction: Nebraska Football Loses to Illinois

In this story:

Nebraska Cornhuskers

Adam Carriker expresses the frustration most Husker fans are feeling right now. Tony White's Blackshirts struggled to stop the Illinois passing attack, Dylan Raiola played well overall, but Nebraska's offense struggled to run the ball & the Huskers special teams need to improve quickly. There are some positives, but Nebraska left several points on the field & the refs definitely had an impact on the game as well.
