After a delay before takeoff, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have officially arrived in Dublin, Ireland. The Huskers now have a chance to acclimate themselves to their new environment before kicking off the 2022 college football season against the Northwestern Wildcats. This would be the first time Nebraska has played overseas since playing in the Coca-Cola Bowl in Toyko, Japan, against Kansas State.
The Coca-Cola bowl is a now-defunct regular season college football game played in Tokyo, Japan, from 1977 to 1993. Now 30 years later, Nebraska has crossed the ocean once more for a college football game. The Cornhuskers were initially supposed to play in the 2021 version of this game against fellow Big Ten member Illinois, but that trip was canceled due to the COVID pandemic.
Take a look below at some of the sights of the Husker’s arrival in Dublin. Stay tuned to Cornhuskers Wire, as we’ll have all the big Week 0 kickoff coverage.
