Fox Sports includes Colorado-Nebraska among most anticipated rivalry games of 2024

This fall’s resumption of the rivalry series between the Colorado Buffaloes and Nebraska Cornhuskers has caught the attention of Fox Sports. In an article spotlighting the 10 most anticipated college football rivalry games this upcoming season, the two former Big 12 Conference foes kicked off the list.

Colorado and Nebraska left the Big 12 together in 2011 and have since met three times in nonconference play, with the Buffs winning each game. That includes last year’s matchup in Boulder when CU stifled the Cornhuskers’ offense en route to a 36-14 victory.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule recently praised Colorado head coach Deion Sanders and his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but the Huskers’ second-year leader also knows that this year’s Week 2 showdown is a massive opportunity for his program.

“What Deion has done, in my opinion, is he’s made football relevant to maybe people that weren’t watching it,” Rhule said in a recent interview with Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt. “It’s our chance to come into that game, and people are gonna tune in to see them, and they’ll have a chance to watch us too. If we play well, maybe people will have that same energy about us nationally that they have about them.”
