They have us at home

Ron Bauer

They are and always have been a running team. Big "D" will really have to play their "A" game.

Michael Ervin

Huskers are building talent...they are largely on par with Wisconsin right now from a talent perspective...the Wisconsin game shows how well the coaches are developing the talent we have...win that...the Oregon game in 2017 can be the next barometer game

Oregon will give us view of where we are in terms of development for the first part of the season. However, not necessarily for the season itself because Oregon uses, or has used much more of a hurry up offense than we see in BIG. .

Sean Fluharty

Over the past decade or so, Oregon has been considered a national power still has the national perception of being an elite program. These are the types of schools we need to be able to defeat on a regular basis if we want to be considered elite again.

Jason Coorts

The tone will be set early for what the season will look like. Just like last year. The BYU game said it all for what the team looked like last year.

Valerie Gilmore

some say whisky, i say quack quack. seems like it would feel better early and get the mo Joe junk going on.

Danny Baker

Oregon for non-conference and Wisconsin for conference. Beat the top and your on your way.

Exactly what Jeremy just said …. duh 😂

Jeremy Lojack

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Kelly Smith

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

Jeremy Lojack

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

VAHuskerFan

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Jeff Barker

Terrible decision

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Gets Rhule two wins and makes Dannebrog look good.

Bad optics.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

Jeremy Lojack

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

George mcdaniel

It is 50 50 if they will make it or not

Roger Shriver

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
