Although the Husker season opener is over 200 days away, I thought it would be a good time to take a quick look at what kind of competition NU will face this fall. Gone are Ohio State, Indiana, Colorado and Wisconsin (NU went 2-2 last year against them),  Back after a one year absence are Minnesota and Northwestern. Also on the schedule are traditional powerhouse programs like Michigan, Penn State and Iowa. NU will face seven teams that had losing records in 2024 and five with winning records.
