The Result 1l5w1t

After the final missed PAT, Illinois made Nebraska burn their time outs and prevented a Hail Mary touchdown to secure the 30-22 final score. Those who bet on the UNDER should be giving Culp their biggest thanks, while any OVER sports bettors are not as enthusiastic with his performance.

This is not the first time a kicker has been the deciding factor in an OVER/UNDER wager for football and it surely won’t be the last, but this sets up what could be a very entertaining year of bad beats for CFB.
