Of course, the matchup with Colorado in Week 2 will carry all sorts of headlines, but the schedule itself has some tough challenges.

Road games at Ohio State, at USC, and at Iowa will provide a tough test down the stretch of next season. In fact, their final five games are all very tough, as the two home contests in that stretch are against UCLA and the Wisconsin Badgers.

This season, 5-3 Nebraska aims to stake a claim in one of the top spots in the Big Ten before the forthcoming expansion, and they look for bowl eligibility Saturday when they take on Michigan State on the road on Saturday.

Kickoff from East Lansing is set for 11:00 am on Saturday morning.
