Nebraska interim head coach Mickey Joseph is trying for the full-time gig. When Joseph took over after a 1-2 start, he was considered a longshot. But Joseph said he and his staff would coach as they would be there. And he said that he would leave the program better than he found it. Despite last week’s NCAA Football betting loss, Joseph has the Huskers playing smarter and harder. And his well-established reputation for strong recruiting has been on full display. This week Joseph and Nebraska host a Minnesota Golden Gophers team that rebounded with a big win over Rutgers.

The Fighting Illini breakout season keeps getting better. Naturally, the Illini’s 26-9 win at Nebraska on Saturday was nothing flashy, just professional. That is how coach Bret Bielema likes it. Chase Brown and the top defense in the country did what they’ve been doing all year. Now No. 17 Illinois is on a six-game win streak for the first time since 2011. Brown rushed for 149 yards and scored on consecutive series in the second quarter. Brown was the key catalyst for the Big Ten West-leading Illini.
