Nebraska football scheduled to play two Friday games in 2025
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska will play at Minnesota on Friday night in Week 7 of the 2025 football season, among two Friday games for the Huskers that have been assigned kickoff times and TV networks. The Oct. 17 meeting in Minneapolis is among five Big Ten Friday night games selected by Fox before Thanksgiving weekend. It will kick off at 7 p.m. (CT). The game marks the second consecutive weeknight kickoff for Nebraska at Minnesota. Advertisement The Gophers beat the Huskers 13-10 on a Thursday night in Matt Rhule's Nebraska coaching debut in 2023 at Huntington Bank Stadium. Also announced, the Nebraska-Iowa Black Friday clash on Nov. 28 will kick off at 11 a.m. on CBS, a return to the early time slot after the Huskers and Hawkeyes played at night as Big Ten rivals for the first time in 2024. CBS will also air the Week 4 Michigan at Nebraska game at 2:30 p.m. TV networks on Thursday unveiled times and networks for games through Week 3 and other special dates. Nebraska also learned that the Big Ten Network will televise its home opener against Akron on Sept. 6 at 6:30 p.m., and the Week 3 game against Houston Christian will kick off at 11 a.m. on FS1. The Huskers' Aug. 28 opener at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City against Cincinnati had already been announced for 8 p.m. on ESPN — the first appearance for Nebraska on ESPN since the Wisconsin game in 2022. Aside from the traditional Black Friday, Nebraska has played Friday games in the Big Ten in each of the past three seasons. It won at Rutgers in 2022 and at Illinois in 2023 before the Illini beat Nebraska in overtime last year at Memorial Stadium. Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen, after the 2024 game, requested that the Big Ten no longer schedule Friday games in Lincoln — other than the regular-season finale against Iowa — because of logistical issues that they create on campus. Minnesota, in the first two seasons of the Big Ten's media-rights contract with Fox, did not play a Friday night game. The Gophers will also play this year at Oregon on a Friday in Week 12. Other Big Ten Friday nights on Fox include Iowa at Rutgers in Week 4, Northwestern at USC in Week 11 and Washington at UCLA in Week 13. The date change of the Minnesota game creates a short turnaround for the Huskers after a trip to Maryland in their only back-to-back weeks on the road in the 2025 season.

He is going to visit Penn State May 16-18, Nebraska June 6-8, Oregon June 13-15 and Texas A&M June 20-22. Hamiel is a dynamic playmaker who played in 12 games last season and recorded 50 tackles. He also proved to be a ball hawk, recording three interceptions for 51 yards and three pass deflections, per statistics from Hamiel would be a solid get for a Nebraska football secondary that is loading up with impact playmakers. It will certainly be interesting to see how he views the Huskers after his visit, and if the Huskers can make a sizable impact in his recruitment.

Nebraska football fans react to 2027 QB Trae Taylor committing to the Huskers
Nebraska football fans react to 2027 QB Trae Taylor committing to the Huskers Nebraska Football landed a commitment from 2027 four-star quarterback Trae Taylor on Thursday afternoon. He made the announcement during a live stream on 247Sports' YouTube channel. Taylor is the third overall quarterback in the 2027 class and the second overall player in his class from the state of Illinois, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Several teams made a final push to recruit him on Wednesday, as Illinois and LSU both made visits. Nevertheless, he stayed with his choice of the Huskers. He was recruited to the program by quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas. This was a recruitment that the Huskers were in on early. His recruitment with Nebraska picked up over the fall, as he took on official visits on October 5 and November 23. He was most recently in town on April 26. He threw for 3,061 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, per statistics from MaxPreps. He also carried the football 41 times for 342 yards and four touchdowns. This is a major commitment for the Nebraska football team. For one, it gives them a cornerstone commitment for the 2027 class. This also gives them time to develop the class around Taylor. This is something that the program was unable to do with Dylan Raiola due to him switching his commitment in late summer, right before the early signing timeframe. Nebraska football has done a good job of recruiting quarterbacks over the last couple of classes. Taylor's commitment gives Nebraska another bona fide playmaker at the position. This sets them up nicely in the quarterback room for life after Dylan Raiola, with TJ Lateef and Marcos Davila currently in the room. Dayton Raiola is also waiting in the wings as a member of the 2026 class. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has been known to pull off some big recruiting wins, and this certainly falls into that category here. Find social media reactions to the announcement below.
