The upcoming game on November 24th promises to be an intense battle, with both teams looking to assert their dominance.
The Cornhuskers have had a challenging season so far. In their last three games, they've faced tough opponents and have shown resilience despite mixed results.

In week 11 against Maryland Terrapins at home, the Huskers' defense was stout with two forced fumbles and one interception but ultimately lost by three points in another nail-biter ending at 13-10. The offense struggled through the air that day but maintained a strong running game that has been consistent throughout recent performances.
Their visit to Michigan State Spartans saw them putting up two rushing touchdowns and achieving perfect red zone efficiency; however, turnovers were costly as they succumbed narrowly by three points again with a scoreline of 20-17.
The recurring theme for Nebraska has been close games decided by one possession or less. As they return to Memorial Stadium—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which could provide them an edge—the Cornhuskers will look to leverage their effective running game while tightening up ball security issues that have plagued them recently.
Fans can expect another closely contested match where every play could be pivotal in determining the outcome.
