SMQ Prediction: Huskers Will Bounce Back With a 21-17 Victory vs. Illinois

Matt Rhule challenged the team to "show up!" We predict they will.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have an opportunity to return to .500 and could be bowl-eligible in one month. Much depends upon how the team responds after the underwhelming show vs. Michigan. There is a lot to play for under the Friday Night Lights in Champaign. This is an important inflection point on the trajectory for Matt Rhule's first season. Quoting Coach Rhule: "We'll know a lot about this team on Friday."
