How many miles will Nebraska football travel in 2025?
The Big Ten Huddle did the calculations, and the numbers are eye-popping. No surprise that the four former Pac-12 teams will travel the most in the Big Ten Conference in 2025. Oregon leads the group, with the Ducks scheduled to travel 8,128 miles.
Illinois will do the least amount of traveling, with only 2,735 miles scheduled this season. The Huskers ranked tenth in the Big Ten, with 3,790 miles scheduled.
Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on the road. They will face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 28.
The Cornhuskers will only travel four times during Big Ten play. They will play at Minnesota, Maryland, and Penn State, but the farthest road trip in 2025 will be on November 8 when Nebraska plays the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl.

Two Iowa football stars named preseason All-Americans
The Iowa Hawkeyes are littered with talent up and down their roster on offense, defense, and special teams. With a veteran presence, as they carry most years, the Hawkeyes retained some key contributors for another year and are seeing them receive proper notoriety. Two of those key pieces returning are kick and punt return specialist Kaden Wetjen and offensive lineman Gennings Dunker. Both are expected to continue their success at Iowa with big years in 2025. Wetjen and Dunker helped Iowa win games in 2024, and the same will be expected from them this year. With the expectations on them, both of the Iowa stars have been named Sporting News preseason All-Americans. Both were named to the second team. Kaden Wetjen flashed his magic last year for Iowa on special teams. The return specialist put on a show when he touched the ball and made opponents pay for kicking it to him. Wetjen returned 26 kickoffs, averaging 28 yards per return with a touchdown, and returned 26 punts for 12.6 yards per return with another touchdown. Gennings Dunker figures to be a staple on an Iowa offensive line that could be the catalyst of their success this year. He enters his fourth year with the program with 34 games and 25 starts under his belt. His experience and dependability will be called on by Iowa's offense all season long.

Joel Klatt Gushes Over Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith
FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt praises Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, calling him possibly the best player he's seen since starting his college football coverage and predicting a legendary career ahead. FOX Sports analyst and commentator Joel Klatt has set sky-high expectations for Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. Appearing on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Klatt couldn't say enough about the Buckeyes' standout, praising his talent and potential with glowing enthusiasm. 'The quarterback is not going to be asked to be Superman for Ohio State,' Klatt said. They should be able to run it well, their defense should be solid, and they've got, I think, the best wide receiver that I've seen in college football since I've been covering college football in Jeremiah Smith. He might be the best player I've seen since I started covering college football. 'There's only two players that I felt like, as their true freshman year, they should be on an NFL field: Adrian Peterson and Jeremiah Smith… Smith is ridiculous. I think Jeremiah Smith — I mean, this is probably too much hype — Jeremiah Smith, if he just keeps working hard and developing, I think he has a chance to be a top five receiver in the history of football.' Joel Klatt's praise for Jeremiah Smith is nothing short of extraordinary, but after the freshman season Smith just had, it might not be so far off the mark. In his first year with the Buckeyes, Smith rewrote the record books. He set a new FBS freshman receiving record with 1,315 yards, finishing the season with 76 receptions, 15 receiving touchdowns, and even added a rushing score. Despite a quiet game against Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal, where he managed just one catch for three yards, Smith still left a major impact on the postseason. Across four playoff games, he totaled 19 catches for 381 yards and five touchdowns. He found the end zone twice in both the Rose Bowl against Oregon and in the matchup against Tennessee. His performance in the Rose Bowl was especially electric, recording 7 receptions for 187 yards and 2 touchdowns. For his outstanding debut season, Smith was named Big Ten Receiver of the Year and earned First-Team All-American honors. With a résumé like that already in hand, Klatt's high expectations suddenly seem very realistic. As of today, Jeremiah Smith holds the fourth-best odds to win the Heisman Trophy, behind only three quarterbacks: Texas' Arch Manning, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, and Clemson's Cade Klubnik. If Smith has already positioned himself among college football's elite after just one year, his rise is only beginning. All eyes will be on him when he returns to the field for his sophomore season opener as Ohio State faces Texas on August 30 at noon ET.

US journalist who went missing for six days on Norwegian glacier hike rescued
The American journalist who vanished after venturing out for a solo hike along a glacier in Norway was found alive by a search and rescue crew six days after he went missing. Alec Luhn, a 38-year-old Wisconsin native, was found Wednesday and airlifted to a hospital after disappearing inside Norway's Folgefonna National Park on July 31, the local Red Cross branch said. 3 Alec Luhn, 38, was rescued on Wednesday after disappearing in Norway's Folgefonna National Park. Veronika Silchenko / Facebook The award-winning reporter was on vacation with his family when he set out on a multi-day trip to backpack across the national park. But he failed to meet back up with his relatives on Monday. Luhn's wife, Veronika Silchenko, said her husband was an experienced outdoorsman, so she wasn't initially worried when he failed to check in with them over the weekend. 3 Search and rescue efforts were called off two nights in a row this week due to dangerous weather. Norwegian Red Cross 'Alec is basically obsessed with the Arctic,' Silchenko, an Emmy-winning TV journalist, told CBS News. 'He loves glaciers and snow, and he loves explorers, and he's a climate journalist, so for him it is always that story that now because of the climate change they're all shrinking, and he's trying his best to go to the coldest countries,' she said. But when she still hadn't heard from him, she reported her husband missing, and local officials launched a search and rescue mission surrounding the Folgefonna glacier. 3 The weather let up on Wednesday and the search team was able to locate Luhn in the area and order an airlift. Norwegian Red Cross The search, however, ran into trouble when bad weather forced the team and their helicopter to suspend the operation Monday night. A volunteer search and rescue team, police, K-9 units and drones renewed the search on Tuesday before it was again suspended due to the weather. 'Difficult terrain, poor visibility, rain and high water levels have complicated access to key areas,' the Norwegian Red Cross said in a statement just a few hours before the crew found Luhn. 'He was located by helicopter crew and has now been transported for medical treatment,' the organization posted on X. Officials did not comment on what condition Luhn was in. Luhn, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has reported for various outlets, including The Guardian, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, Scientific American, TIME, CBS News Radio, and VICE News TV.
