Nebraska Football gets Big Noon Kickoff slot vs Indiana

Nebraska football will be showcased on a national level this weekend.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers’ upcoming game against the Indiana Hoosiers on October 19 will be the Fox Big Noon Kickoff game of the week. This announcement was made on social media on Saturday.

Both teams were on a bye week this past week. Indiana is coming off a 41-24 win over the Northwestern Wildcats last Saturday, and Nebraska is riding high off a 17-10 win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

These two programs have a history with each other. Indiana leads the all-time series by a 10-9 margin. Nebraska beat Indiana by a 35-21 score the last time these two teams played in October 2022. Nebraska last won in Bloomington in October 2016.

This will certainly be a fascinating contest, and Nebraska will have a chance to snap its losing streak against ranked opponents. The Hoosiers come into the game ranked 18th in the country.

It will be interesting to see how Nebraska matches up against the Hoosiers. This will be another big test for a rebuilding program that needs a signature win.

Nebraska’s defensive coordinator has a plan for handing out The Blackshirts

Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White met with the media on Friday afternoon.

Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White met with the media on Friday afternoon. White touched on various subjects, including the future of the Blackshirts.

White joined the Cornhusker coaching staff after having the same role at Syracuse for the 2022-23 football season. White was in charge of teams that had back-to-back Top 30 defenses.

He’s known for running a 3-3-5 base defense. Head coach Matt Rhule used the same scheme when he was in charge of Baylor from 2017-2019.

When asked about The Blackshirts, he’s previously said,

“The most important thing I can do with that tradition is acknowledged it. I have to talk to people who have instilled, who have lived, who have done it the right way. I’ve heard many different ways they have done it, from bringing old guys back,  taking it away, waiting a couple of games, do it fall camp. I’ve heard a lot of different things already.” 

“I think it’s one of the best traditions in college football.”
