The 2022 college football season kickoff is just around the corner. The season starts for the Nebraska Cornhuskers with a Big Ten Conference matchup against the Northwestern Wildcats in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic from Dublin, Ireland.
Last season the Huskers finished 3-9. All of their losses were by single digits, and seven of the nine were one-possession games. Northwestern was also 3-9 last season. Its worst loss, 56-7, came in October in Lincoln at the hands of the Cornhuskers. Northwestern beat only one Power Five college football team, Rutgers, last season. That win came a week after the Nebraska loss.
Below are five keys to Saturday’s game. Will Nebraska start the season on the right foot? Or is Scott Frost’s seat about to get hotter than he ever imagined?
Take a look below, and let us know what you think.
