The gametime for the Nebraska football-Colorado game was announced on Monday. The game will take place on September 7 at 6:30 PM central time on NBC.
This will be a revenge game of sorts for Nebraska. Colorado was victorious the last time these two teams met last fall. Colorado was victorious by 36-14 margin.
Nebraska leads the all-time series 49-21-2. The last time Nebraska beat Colorado was in 2010. Nebraska won 45-17.
This is going to be a game with a lot of interesting subplots. The Nebraska football defense will have to take on Shedeur Sanders once again, while also trying to stop wide receiver Travis Hunter. The confident Colorado squad will look to make a statement in Lincoln, after finishing last season 4-8.
In the meantime, Nebraska will have interesting subplots of their own. The Huskers will have a new quarterback under center, as Dylan Raiola may get his first taste of the prime-time TV lights. Nebraska football fans have been excited about his potential all offseason. Now, the rest of the country may get to see it for themselves.
A battle for the ages
This is going to be a star-studded affair, with lots of excitement for both sides. The atmosphere at Memorial Stadium is going to be insane, and the fans will be ready. With all the hype Colorado has been building ever since the arrival of Deion Sanders, Nebraska will have an opportunity to make a statement on national television.
There were rumors last week that this could be a night game. Now, those appear to be accurate. This is set to be an exciting season for the program, and what is set to be a season full of optimism. The program has put in the work over the course of the offseason, both on the practice fields and in recruiting. This will be a good opportunity for them to show their efforts.
