Texas Tech outlasts Illinois, 84-78 The defensive communication issues were still there. Coleman let Davis into the lane for a game-clinching bucket. Free throws and rebounding down the stretch have to be better, but good to see a young team show fight. (Photo: AP)

.@IlliniFootball allowed just 13 points in a win over Nebraska yesterday. Now, the Cornhuskers are making a change at OC. This also happened two weeks ago with Oregon offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer after Illinois beat them.
NEWS: Nebraska has fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. The Huskers are amid a four-game losing streak. "Simply, we need a change," Matt Rhule says in a statement. Glenn Thomas will take over play-calling for Nebraska.

Classic jab from #illini head coach Bret Bielema “6-3 and we just beat three winning teams. If we were in the SEC, we'd probably be in the top-25.” Illinois beats Nebraska 24-13 for a third-straight bowl game appearance. 4 straight wins.

David Mirkovic had an emergency appendectomy last night, which will further delay his return to the court, per head coach Brad Underwood. Andrej Stojackovic and Zvonimir Ivisic are expected to play in Monday's season opener. Lincoln Williams is questionable. @wics_abc20

After Eisenhower (Decatur) moved to a JV slate in 2026, Lincoln will now host Hillsboro on Oct. 2, Lincoln's AD Neil Alexander told me on the phone. IHSA gave the Panthers' scheduled opponents two options: accept the forfeit win or find another game. Per Glenwood's X/Twitter account, they replaced the Panthers with a road trip to Rock Island in Week 5. Lanphier (week 8) and Southeast (week 9) are "still exploring options", District 186 told me. Last night, Rochester said they are looking for a replacement for week 3 Last night, Mt. Zion said they "actively exploring our options" for week 2
