The long offseason is finally coming to an end. The start of the 2022 Nebraska Cornhuskers football season kicks off Saturday at 11:30 a.m. CST. Oh yeah, the location of the game will be 5:30 p.m. local time, however, because you obviously know it is being played in Dublin, Ireland.
For just the second time in Husker history out of 1,358 games, Nebraska is playing in a foreign country. That matchup will also be against a conference opponent, but on the other side of a different ocean. This will also be against a Big Ten conference opponent, the Northwestern Wildcats, as opposed to last time when it was a Big 8 matchup against the Kansas State Wildcats.
