1. Oregon (Sep 17)

The game against the Oregon Ducks is the most important non-conference game we’ve seen in quite some time for the Nebraska football team. Oregon has managed to rise to the top of the college football world over the last few years.

When  the Ducks visit Memorial stadium in September, the game could set the tone for the rest of the season. If the Huskers  manage to win the game, we might be in for a very special season. If they lose, it will mean they aren’t quite ready for prime time.
