Nebraska Football: Program finalizes future opponents
Nebraska Football has begun to finalize future schedules.
Nebraska Football began to add to its 2023 non-conference schedule on Thursday. Nebraska added a home game against Louisiana Tech.
Slated for September 23, 2023, Louisiana Tech will visit Memorial Stadium. The payout for Louisiana Tech is rather nice. $1.55 million will be the sum of money for the game. One other move of note is the fact that the huskers moved their 2021 game with Northern Illinois to 2027. Although it is hard to predict the future, games with Northern Illinois have been extremely fun over the past couple of years. I would not expect that to change anytime soon.

Louisiana Tech is not a powerhouse opponent. Nevertheless, it will be fun to play them at Memorial Stadium. Depending on how the rosters shape up, it could make for a great game. It will be interesting to see the type of personnel that Nebraska Football has during the season, and what the coaching staff will look like. Hopefully, there’ll be some continuity between now and then.
It’s nice to see that Nebraska has scheduled a game with an opponent that you wouldn’t normally see. Louisiana Tech has certainly not been an often-scheduled opponent. The two teams have met only twice, with Nebraska Football winning both times. Most recently, the Cornhuskers won in 2006 by a 49-10 score.
It will be interesting to see what Nebraska Football looks like when the two teams meet again. Obviously, it’s too early to predict what any of the rosters will look like, but I can imagine that if everything goes according to plan, Nebraska will have some pretty good players in the fold. Especially with the new athletic facilities coming, that should undoubtedly help Nebraska Football recruiting.
It will be interesting to see what other adjustments Nebraska makes to their schedule. Hopefully, they can schedule several quality opponents over the next couple of years. It will only benefit the program moving forward.
