The college football season is almost upon us, and bowl projections are rolling out. ESPN released its list on Friday, and Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach have the Huskers going to the SRS Distribution Bowl on December 31 to face the Utah Utes.
This would be a unique matchup. The two teams have not faced each other since 1992, when the Huskers won by a 49-22 margin. All four matchups between the two programs have taken place in Lincoln, with the Huskers winning each of them. The first matchup came in 1968, when the Huskers shut out Utah by a 31-0 margin.
Utah finished the 2024 season with a 5-7 record, while the Huskers finished 7-6 with a win over Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Las Vegas would certainly not be a bad location to view a bowl game. Husker fans always seem to show out wherever their teams play. Allegiant Stadium is certainly not a bad venue.
Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on Thursday, August 28, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. CT.
