A look at how to watch Saturday’s game between Illinois and Nebraska online.

On Saturday afternoon, Illinois and No. 15 Nebraska will battle in a game of Big Ten schools. The Game will take place at Tom Osborne Field at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE.

Illinois sits at 1-2 coming into this contest. They’ve been beaten badly over the past two weeks by North Carolina and Western Michigan, both of whom won by 24 and 25 points, respectively. The Illini have received moderate production from the passing game, with Wes Lunt having put up 665 yards. Only one receiver has more than 10 receptions, though, through three games. Can they get a receiver going not named Malik Turner?

Nebraska has been red-hot to open the 2016 season. They’re 4-0, ranked No. 15, and even took down No. 22 Oregon. Quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. has led them in the passing, throwing for 931 yards and eight touchdowns. He also has 281 rushing yards, which is two less behind running back Devine Ozigbo. These two have combined for eight rushing touchdowns.

Nebraska most recently defeated Northwestern, 24-13. This saw Armstrong gain 378 all-purpose yards, and could be in for a similar game against a weak Illini squad.

If the Cornhuskers can get by Illinois, they’ll have two more light matchups in Indiana and Purdue on the way. Afterward, their schedule gets tough, however. They’ll face Wisconsin on October 29 and Ohio State on November 5, two games that could make or break Nebraska’s season.
