Sat Sep 06 13:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Nebraska Looks to Continue Momentum Against Akron After Season-Opening Win

**Lincoln, NE** – Fresh off a hard-fought 20-17 victory over Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are set to kick off their home schedule against the Akron Zips on September 6th at Memorial Stadium. The game, which marks the Huskers’ first appearance in Lincoln this season, will be broadcast nationally on the Big Ten Network, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.

Nebraska is aiming to build on their promising start to the season, fueled by a stellar performance from sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola. Raiola threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in the win against the Bearcats, completing 33 of 42 passes. A stout defense also played a key role, limiting Cincinnati to just 69 passing yards.

The Zips, under coach Joe Moorhead, are coming off a 10-0 shutout loss to Wyoming, are expected to provide a less formidable challenge. Akron has struggled in recent years and will need to demonstrate a significant improvement to compete with the Huskers.

Fans can catch the game on Big Ten Network with Mark Followill and Anthony Herron on the call. Streaming options are available via the Fox Sports App and Fubo.
