Game script: what to watch
If the Illinois fall behind early, Katin Houser's passing volume usually rises. Katin Houser has averaged 249.4 passing yards over the last 10 and cleared 200+ pass yds in 8 of the last 10; check the passing-yards and alt-line hit rates on the player page.
If the Nebraska build a lead, they tend to lean on the run late. Jamal Rule has averaged 66.1 rushing yards over the last 10.
A trailing offense throws more, so Collin Dixon (89.1 receiving yards per game over the last 10) is the target to watch if the Illinois are chasing points.
If a favorite goes down early, live lines and alternate spreads move fast. That is a moment to research, not to chase a loss.
