The Nebraska Cornhusker football team returns home for a match up against Big 10 opponent Northwestern at 11 a.m. on Saturday with both teams looking for a sixth and bowl clinching victory.

Saturday’s game will be broadcast on FS1 and will be available across the Huskers Radio Network and streaming live at Huskers.com.

Nebraska is looking to bounce back from a disappointing road loss to Minnesota, 24-6, on Friday, Oct. 10.

Minnesota led by just one point, 7-6, at half, but were shut out 17-0 in the third and fourth quarters.

Sacks spoiled Husker drives as Minnesota finished with a school record nine sacks. Dylan Raiola finished with 170 yards passing and Emmett Johnson led the ground game with 63 yards.

Few teams in the nation are hotter than Northwestern as the Wildcats have won four straight games including a 19-0 blanking of Purdue on Saturday, Oct. 18. Purdue was coming off a 27-20 loss at Minnesota.

Following Saturday, there are four games remaining on the 2025 regular season schedule for Nebraska. The Huskers have a 6:30 p.m. game against USC on Nov. 1 before playing back-to-back road games at UCLA and Penn State. Kick time for those games has yet to be announced.

The final regular season game will be an 11 a.m. game against Iowa on Friday, Nov. 28.
