[NU Sports] Any day that Illinois loses is a good day

[Mike Nolan]

> Actually, although I prefer Boilers to Illini, Purdue is now 4-3 and are now clearly ahead of us in terms of bowl eligibility.  We may have them as competition for a bowl slot, if we can right the Good Ship Fitz.  We need to win tonight--that's for sure.

Yeah, but they still have to win two more games, and their remaining opponents are:

At Michigan
At Wisconsin
Ohio State
Iowa
At Indiana

Winning two more games will not be easy for the Boilers.

The Cats have to win four games:

Penn State
At Indiana
At Nebraska
Rice
Minnesota
Michigan State

Three home games to finish the season.

But they REALLY need to win today to get the ball rolling.

The Husker are rolling all over the Gophers, but they've gotten a LOT of help,
including a lateral that was knocked out of bounds for a first down on
a fourth down play.
