The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s gut punch loss to Illinois:

• Huskers lose in familiar fashion, with late mistakes, crucial penalties, and an atrocious overtime performance.


• Outcoached, out-schemed, outplayed.


• Perhaps more concerning than anything was the performance of the defense, which never really looked to be in control.


• Re-setting expectations.


• Another underwhelming performance by the offensive line.


• Special teams still costing the Huskers.


• Another rough performance by the officials.

It wasn’t all bad, as the Huskers still almost pulled out the W even in the face of numerous mistakes and setbacks:

• Dylan Raiola is absolutely the real deal.


• Wide receivers Isaiah Neyor and Jahmal Banks shine.


• Thomas Fidone is back!


• Defense forcing turnovers at key moments.


• Reflecting on the 400th consecutive sellout. 


• Time to turn the page and get back on track with a win against Purdue.

Finally, the Common Fans discuss the remaining schedule and whether/how much expectations have changed after the performance against Illinois.

All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
