The Matchup: Troy at Nebraska

Troy (1-1) at Nebraska (0-1)

Saturday, 11 a.m., Memorial Stadium

TV: BTN (Joe Benanati, James Laurinatis, Damon Benning)

WHAT’S AT STAKE: Nebraska is seeking to avoid its first 0-2 start to a season since 1957, and is faced with this scenario for only the second time since 1985. The Huskers bounced back from a 33-28 loss to BYU to open the 2015 season by trouncing South Alabama in their second game. Now, after falling to Colorado by, ironically, the same score as that BYU game, Nebraska welcomes a Troy team that’s anything but intimidated by road games against Power 5 Conference teams.
