Gambling911.com has your prop bets for the Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Illinois Fighting Illini Week 1 game.
Scott Frost (12-20 since taking the helm at Nebraska) said his team is "laser-focused" for the Illini, who beat the Huskers 41-23 in Lincoln last year. Nebraska committed five turnovers in that game.
"There are some challenges to playing a team that has a new staff," he said. "We did not play very well against them last year. We made some mistakes. We need to play better this year. I think the guys are locked in on that."
The game will be in the national spotlight as the first to kick off and among six FBS games on Saturday. The game starts at 1:20 pm ET on Fox.
"It's sweet. I love that we have a Week Zero game," Nebraska fourth-year starting quarterback Adrian Martinez said. "I know the guys are pumped and, even more, it's a Big Ten West opponent, so everything's on the line in Week 1. I couldn't be more excited about it."
