The Big Ten unveiled its 2023 football schedule Wednesday, with three league games on the opening weekend—including Nebraska’s new coach facing a road challenge in his debut.
The Cornhuskers open at Minnesota on Sept. 2. Nebraska’s first two games are both on the road, with the second contest a trip to Colorado.
Other league lid-lifters: Ohio State at Indiana and Northwestern at Rutgers. There are no conference games in Week 2 and only one in Week 3—Penn State at Illinois. That will mark the Nittany Lions’ eighth straight season playing their Big Ten opener on the road, something coach James Franklin complained about at conference media day in July. That complaint apparently went unheard by the league office.
