Nebraska-Illinois Predictions

So it's Nebraska football time again and I am finally in town to enjoy a game. Last week, the Huskers had a bye week so the girls and I will be watching when the two teams kick off at 11 o'clock today.

Of course, there will always be a prediction contest. And this year, we stepped it up with a variety of predictions in addition to the usual ones (winner and final score). The new categories for today's game are: temperature at game time in Lincoln, number of people we will see on TV wearing corncobs on their head and the number of yards rushing by Nebraska.

Name Winner, Score Temperature at Kickoff Cornheads Neb. Yards Rushing
Emily Illinois, 47-23 49 degrees 11 316
Lauren Ants, 10 1 degree "10 hundred" 1
Julia Neb., 51-45 51 degrees 6 245
Olivia Illinois, 47-43 48 degrees 5 402
Veronica Illinois, 47-36 45 degrees 6 425
Sean Neb., 42-34 49 degrees 3 425
As you can see, Lauren is already a bit off the mark. But that's OK, right?
