Brandon Peters threw for one touchdown and ran for another in his first game in nearly a month, Illinois had two rushers go over 100 yards, and the Illini beat turnover-plagued Nebraska 41-23 on Saturday for their second straight win. They couldn't survive five, though, as the Illini won in Lincoln for the first time since 1924. Wan'Dale Robinson coughed up the ball as the Huskers (1-3, 1-3 Big Ten) tried to come back in the second half. The Illini won their second road game in as many weeks. THE TAKEAWAYIllinois: Coach Lovie Smith's defense thrives on turnovers, and the Illini played “Lovie Ball” to the hilt with five takeaways.
