Season Opener Set for National ABC Telecast

Nebraska’s Sept. 5 season-opening contest with BYU will be televised to a national audience on ABC, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. (Central) at Memorial Stadium.

The Big Ten Conference and its television partners announced television plans and start times for several games during the first three weeks of the 2015 season on Friday, June 12.

The Huskers’ matchup with BYU is the first-ever meeting between the schools. The Cougars are coming off an 8-5 record and a trip to the Miami Beach Bowl in 2014.

Nebraska leads the nation with 29 straight victories in season openers, most recently a 55-7 win over Florida Atlantic in 2014.
