Colorado Buffaloes set to face Nebraska in rivalrous home opener Saturday

The rivalry atmosphere continues this week when the University of Colorado football team goes head to head with the No. 25 Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. The 1:30 p.m. MST game is sure to be a sold-out affair, so get to Folsom Field early.

This rivalry dates all the way back when the Buffs and Cornhuskers were part of the Big 12, then called the Big 8. Through the years, Nebraska has dominated the rivalry, but in recent years, the Buffs have come on strong, making this game something you don’t want to miss.

Nebraska will be in revenge-seeking mode after the Buffs went into Lincoln last year and stole a hard-fought battle.
