Nebraska's got plenty at stake on the field over the next four weeks, but it's also shaping up to be a key in-season recruiting stretch.
The Cornhuskers are at home three of the next four Saturdays and at least two -- and potentially all three -- will be afternoon or evening kickoffs.
Saturday against Northern Illinois, of course, is a 7 p.m. kick, Oct. 5 against Northwestern is a late afternoon start and in between, NU is hoping for a primetime slot against Ohio State on Sept. 28, which would turn into easily the biggest in-season recruiting weekend of the season.
