Huskers set date for spring game

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have announced the date for their spring football game.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have announced the date for their spring football game. Athletic Director Trev Alberts has announced that the annual Red-White Game will take place on April 27, 2024.

Nebraska’s first game under head coach Matt Rhule came with strict rules.

“We are playing a traditional game (with) a couple modifications,” he said. “You’ll see some different things on special teams, a couple different ways that we’ll do some things that I won’t get into now because I want to surprise everybody. 

He also made it clear that everyone would be taking hits during the game.

“The quarterbacks will be live. We’re just going to play a game. We’re trying to learn how to win. There’s an ebb and flow to a football game that I think is really important as you react to the situations, so we’re going to play it out.” 

The game featured 15-quarters with NFL clock rules, meaning the clock continued to run after a first down. It’s unknown if Nebraska will use the same rules for the 2024 edition of the game.
