Nebraska offensive coordinator moves to press box for Illinois game
Summary

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule announced that offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and offensive line coach Geep Wade will move from the field to the press box for the game against Illinois on Friday. This decision follows scrutiny of Holgorsen's performance after the team's 17-10 loss to Washington, during which the offense scored only 41 points across three games. Rhule stated that the change will allow Holgorsen to review the offense more effectively without sideline interruptions. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. on Fox, marking the third consecutive Friday night matchup between Nebraska and Illinois.
