What to Know
This is a better visitor than the usual September guest. North Dakota is 3-0 and unbeaten in the Missouri Valley, which is consistently the strongest conference at the FCS level and produces teams that beat FBS opponents most years. Nebraska is 2-0 with both wins at home, most recently 56-7 over Bowling Green, and has not faced a Power Four opponent. This is the last game before the Big Ten schedule turns serious.
