Nebraska Football Starts 3rd Year 2-0 Ahead Houston Christian Day Game

Nebraska football, under head coach Matt Rhule, is off to a strong 2-0 start in the 2025 season, including a 20-17 win over Cincinnati and a dominant 68-0 victory against Akron. The Huskers will play their first day game of the season against Houston Christian, an FCS team known for its strong defense, with kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m. Rhule expressed confidence in the team's depth and the preparedness of second- and third-string players, noting their continued high-level play and contributions during games. Special teams have shown improvement, particularly in punt returns, with Jacory Barney demonstrating notable elusiveness and effectiveness. Nebraska aims to start 3-0 for the second consecutive season, a feat they haven't achieved since 2010-2011, while Rhule highlighted the team's early morning practice routine as beneficial for the early game. The upcoming game will be broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network, and fans are expected to show strong support despite the morning kickoff.
