Hello from Memorial Stadium, where Nebraska football is set for its Big Ten season opener against Michigan at 2:30 p.m. on CBS.
A lot of folks are looking at this game as a measuring stick for the Huskers. Are they a legitimate contender? If so, a home date vs. the No. 21 Wolverines would be the time to prove it.
If you’re watching from home, follow along with the Journal Star’s live updates. (Be sure to refresh for the latest updates!)
Michigan at Nebraska
Pregame
2:31 p.m. Right before kickoff, Nebraska is now a 1-point favorite over Michigan. The Wolverines had been 2.5-point favorites for most of the week. Michigan is without CB Zeke Berry, among others, today.

1:50 p.m. Malcolm Hartzog, listed as questionable on the pregame availability report, is in street clothes during warmups. Not a promising sign.

12:46 p.m. The atmosphere is building in downtown Lincoln, where fans are beginning to trickle into Memorial Stadium. The balloons are here today, too
