Huskers host Ohio Bobcats in Lincoln for season opener

Nebraska prepares to host Ohio University for the opening game of the college football season on September 5, 2026. High temperatures are forecasted in Lincoln, prompting the Huskers to adjust water policies at Memorial Stadium for the safety of attendees. Ohio University has announced that Nick Poulos will serve as the starting quarterback for the matchup. Poulos, a transfer from El Camino Community College, enters the game with one previous start. Coach Holgorsen noted the anticipation surrounding the team's start to the season. Both programs look to establish momentum as they begin their respective campaigns.
