The University of Nebraska has agreed to four marquee non-conference football games against Power Five opponents. The Huskers have finalized contracts to play two games against the University of Oklahoma and two games with the University of Arizona.
“We are pleased to finalize agreements with two outstanding programs for future non-conference contests,” Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst said. “We are committed to playing an outstanding schedule each year that brings value to both our student-athletes and the greatest fans in college football.
“The Nebraska-Oklahoma matchup is truly one of the legendary rivalries in the history of college football, and to now have four scheduled meetings in a decade will be great for both programs. The Arizona series will be another outstanding home-and-home matchup against a high-caliber Power Five opponent and will provide a road game destination that will appeal to Nebraska fans.”
The two games against the Sooners are set for 2029 and 2030, and are in addition to previously announced contests with Oklahoma in 2021 and 2022. The two traditional national powers and former conference rivals have not played since 2010, but are now set to meet four times in 10 seasons.
The new two-game series will begin with a game in Norman on Sept. 15, 2029, with the Sooners set to return to Lincoln on Sept. 14, 2030. The two games that were previously announced in 2012 are set for Sept. 18, 2021, at Oklahoma and Sept. 17, 2022, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
The Huskers and Sooners have a long history on the gridiron with 86 all-time meetings. Oklahoma holds a 45-38-3 edge all-time, but Nebraska has won nine of the past 15 meetings.
Nebraska and Arizona have also agreed to play two non-conference games, beginning with a game at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 16, 2028. The Huskers will make a return trip to Tucson to face the Wildcats on Sept. 13, 2031.
The two games with Arizona will be Nebraska’s first regular-season matchup with the Wildcats since the teams tied in Lincoln in 1961. The schools split a pair of matchups in the Holiday Bowl, including a Nebraska victory in 2009.
Nebraska has several non-conference games scheduled against Pac-12 opponents in the upcoming seasons. Including the two contests with Arizona, the Huskers are scheduled to play eight regular-season games against Pac-12 foes, beginning with a home-and-home series with Oregon in 2016 and 2017. Nebraska also has four games scheduled with Colorado between 2018 and 2024.
With the four marquee games added to the Huskers’ future schedules, Nebraska now has at least one non-conference game scheduled for each season through 2031. Beginning with the 2016 season, Nebraska will play three non-conference games in addition to a nine-game Big Ten Conference schedule.

In other news Alabama has agreed to play any Power Five school as long as they don't have to go on the road to do it. They stated they would be open to playing a neutral site game against anybody as long as the other team has to travel a great distance and that the neutral site being very close to Alabama's main campus.
Wonder how many have already been offered scholarships. Some on here are probably pretty upset that Riley has no verbal commitments for those classes yet.
Not only this, but I heard the game in Tucson will be on the Pac 20 Network! Curse you, Dan Beebe!
Good to see Nebraska and Oklahoma get a chance to meet on the field again.
There are few rivalry games that feature two elite programs that have withstood the test of time and get the nation buzzing.
Michigan/Ohio State, Notre Dame/USC, Texas/Oklahoma (Is that all?)
The Big12 didn't help much and now with Nebraska moving to the Big10 outside of a chance bowl game it appears to be over.
As a rivalry it ranked up there among the great traditions in college football and college football is lesser because it is done.
Well...at least you've got Iowa.
Go Blue!
