It's been a 229-day wait since the CFP title game between Alabama and Ohio State, but with all due respect to those FCS conferences that played this Spring, College Football is back!

Kickoff is at 12 noon Central time today on FOX.

So who do we have in this game? I think Illinois will pull the surprise. IMO, Nebraska is just not a coherent program at this point.

Illinois ..... 29
UNL ........ 21

34-31 Illini. My predictions are based solely off how i feel about Nebraska football's current state.

No idea who should be favored but it's great to have the season start!

Alcorn State vs NC Cental

Alcorn is a two touchdown favorite.

I just informed my wife that football starts today. She is crestfallen.

I’m going to say Nebraska wins this, in a close one.

UNL wins this 34-27.
I will say, Illinois has a lot of experience returning.

Thanks for the thread, Quo! It's awesome to finally have games to watch again.

Illinois - 31
Nebraska - 24

So happy to see college football back.

The Packers @ Bills Preseason NFL Game right now is more entertaining....

Somehow it seems fitting that the first score in the 2021 season is a safety.

That first quarter was about as horrific as you could draw it up for Nebraska. And then they score early in the second quarter and you feel all good about corn again and then doink goes the extra point.

Yes, Nebraska is struggling with a bad opponent here.

The Nebraska QB either skips it short or sails it over the head.

The Corn looks self popped, and is definitely lacking salt. Martinez is not setting his feet and shows no enthusiasm for picking up an extra yard when needed.

Illinois ...... 23

Nebraska ..... 9

Hot seat ...

Bye bye Scott Frost
