Description
October 3rd, 2015 in Champaign. Nebraska falls 13-14 in a gray, windy Big 10 opener in a third amazingly painful loss in 2015. Bright spots include the sparkling emergence of d-tackle Kevin Maurice and Nebraska native walk-on LB Chris Webber - who lead the Blackshirts to a smothering run defense and strong pass rush, leaving only a late game miracle as an option for the Illini to pull out a win - which somehow they manage to do! NU is set to run out the clock with a 13-7 lead and a minute left but snafu's on 3rd and 4th downs leave the Illini the ball with 50 seconds left. One big play and two penalties later the fighting Illini are celebrating an unlikely victory dance. Game DVD includes entire game footage as filmed by Husker Vision, complete with radio play-by-play for audio. 88 minutes.
