• All-Time Series: First meeting

• Rhule has won 19 games in his first three seasons, matching Nebraska’s win total from the five
seasons prior to Rhule’s arrival.
• Rhule has led Nebraska to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in more than a decade.
• Rhule has matched or improved his previous season's win total every year of his college coaching
career.

We are forecasting a high of 98° for the Nebraska Football season opener.

Looking back on Husker home games since 1990, there has only been ONE game hotter than that (September 2, 2000 vs. San Jose State).

Nebraska football welcomes Ohio into Lincoln Memorial Stadium on Saturday for the first game of the 2026 season.

Led by first-year head coach John Hauser, the Bobcats will look to pull off an upset as a 23.5-point underdog. Ohio has a new head coach, new coordinators, and a new starting quarterback.

Yet, the offensive coordinator has been with the staff for a decade. The quarterback was the backup last season, and the head coach was the defensive coordinator, all for a team that won nine games.

The Bobcats have five starters back, but have one of the best programs in the MAC. Nebraska football should win with ease, but it won’t be a cakewalk, not unless the Huskers play well.

Colandrea struggled in the bowl game against Ohio with UNLV. The Rebels only scored 10 points. He had an interception and threw for less than 200 yards.

I'll be in my chair pulled up close to the 65" with the AC set on 74.

Also, gonna pop the top on my growler of anchor steam wanna be!

might have one of these if Rhule needs some luck
