Illinois' Allison expected to play at Nebraska

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Illinois receiver Geronimo Allison will play when the Illini take on No. 21 Nebraska on Saturday.

According to the pregame injury report released Thursday night, however, defensive tackle Teko Powell won't take to the field.

Allison missed the Texas State game last weekend with an ankle injury. This week's injury report did not include Allison, who is among the team's leading receivers with 16 catches for 300 yards and two touchdowns.

Powell has played in three games so far and has eight tackles.

Illinois (3-1) faces the Cornhuskers (4-0) at 9 p.m. Saturday.
