It will be Nebraska’s second consecutive 11 a.m. game on Fox after this weekend’s matchup with No. 16 Indiana. It will be the Big Red’s fourth nationally televised game on Fox already this season.

Entering this week, both the Huskers and Buckeyes are 5-1 on the season.

Nebraska has lost seven consecutive games to Ohio State, with the Huskers’ last (and only win vs. the Buckeyes) coming on Oct. 8, 2011 in Lincoln. The Big Red will look to change that on Oct. 26 and notch its first win at Ohio Stadium in the series.

Monday’s announcement also means that only the game times for Nebraska’s matchups with UCLA, USC and Wisconsin have yet to be set this season. Those will be set six to 12 days prior to each game.

The Huskers are coming off a bye week and looking to take down a ranked opponent since 2016.
