Huskers take over BTN Saturday night

Thursday, October 5, 2017

Nebraska football hits the screens and devices at 7 p.m. on Saturday when Cornhuskers try to knock off undefeated No. 10-ranked Wisconsin at Lincoln’s Memorial Stadium.

Speaking of Top 10, the Gazette begins this week to rank those top e college football games can be seen during another weekend:

10. Central Florida at Cincinnati, 7 p.m. on ESPNU. Coach Scott Frost’s unbeaten Knights could crack the Top 25 soon.

9. Kansas State at Texas, 6 p.m. on FSN1. There are still Big 12, Wildcat and Longhorn fans among us. This game might show who could give Oklahoma a serious test during these next few weeks.

8. Miami at Florida State, 2:30 p.m. on ESPN. Still no Michael Irvin vs. Deion Sanders, but unbeaten Hurricanes have to prove they can beat a desperate 1-2 Seminoles team in Tallahassee.

7. Stanford at Utah, 9:15 p.m. on FS1. Bryce Love’s a Heisman candidate after topping 300 rush yards last week. Now he runs into top 20 undefeated Utah Utes.

6. Alabama at Texas A&M, 6 p.m. on ESPN. The mighty Crimson Tide are always fun to watch in a good road test always waiting at historic Kyle Field. 5. Washington State at Oregon, 7 p.m. on FOX. Yes, Mike Leach and his men from Wazzu are undefeated following that huge win over USC last week. Oregon looks dangerous but lost quarterback Justin Herbert — who torched Nebraska for a half — to injury.

4. Penn State at Northwestern, 11 a.m. on ABC. The Lions are rolling and those Wildcats are coming off a loss. Formula for an upset?

3. Michigan State at Michigan, 6 p.m. on ABC. Don’t look now but the Spartans are 4-1 and often seem to have an edge over Big Blue during recent years. It will be fun just to see how crazy coach Jim Harbaugh becomes if game stays close.

2. West Virginia at TCU, 2:30 p.m. on FS1. This one deserves more attention. The Horned Frogs are an early surprise playoff contender and antics of crazy Mountaineer coach Dana Halgorson are almost more entertaining than Harbaugh.

1. Wisconsin at Nebraska, 7 p.m. on BTN. Can the Huskers handle Wisconsin’s intense pass rush and bruising defense?

Maybe this could be
