Before you get too excited, no Bo Pelini isn’t coming back to Lincoln this season. While the Nebraska football team appears ready to lock down a replacement opponent for Akron, it won’t be Youngstown State.
We know this because the Omaha World-Herald reports that numerous sources have told them the school is close to finding an opponent for a game on October 27. The opponent is said to be an FCS team but the Fightin’ Penguins already have a game on their schedule that day.
The news also rules out Turner Gill making a triumphant return.
