Considering that roughly 90 teams would be "tough" for Nebraska these days, I think you have to schedule tough teams. There wouldn't be a lot to choose from otherwise. Those lower level cupcakes are being scheduled by other teams too.

Doug Einsel

Play non-conference but not FBS schools

Joe Nigro

Need to be tested before big 10 begins. Should not be afraid of anyone.

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Roy Katskee

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.

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.

Rob Abel

Yes, I'm OK with it. It was actually Tennessee that would not agree to the home and away series being moved into the future. Nebraska, with the stadium renovation looming, cannot afford to give up the revenue of a home game. It's dollars and cents.

michael daly

It makes sense

PJ SAid

yes, 100% Nebraska needs to look out for its best interest.

Thomas Wright

Exactly what Jeremy just said …. duh 😂

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.

Kelly Beck

I wouldn't use the word cowardly but it's a terrible decision for fans. I believe most fans would forego two guaranteed home wins for the chance to play Tennessee at home and on the road. It's a weak move on the football program's part

Jeff Barker

Terrible decision

Suicide Slush Puppie

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.

Leo Jelinek

Gets Rhule two wins and makes Dannebrog look good.

Jeff 725

Bad optics.
