You've no doubt heard all about the strength of Nebraska's 2018 schedule. It is indeed a bear.
But the nonconference part is actually pretty manageable. Perhaps the Huskers can pick up some steam in September with home games against Akron, Colorado and Troy. The toughest of the three appears to be Troy.
The best team on the schedule? Ohio State, hands down.
AKRON
Sept. 1 | 7 p.m. | FOX | Memorial Stadium
Speed trap: Akron captured the Mid-American Conference’s East Division last year.
