🏈 Huskers Reveal New Alternate Uniforms

Nebraska football unveiled a new alternate uniform Saturday morning built around Memorial Stadium's night game atmosphere. 


The black-and-metallic-red look, themed "Our Red Burns Brighter," draws from the stadium's fireworks, drone shows and end zone fire towers. 


It debuts on Halloween night when Washington visits for the second annual Blackout game.

🏈 Huskers Come Through Scrimmage Healthy

Nebraska football came through its first scrimmage of fall camp mostly unscathed Saturday morning, according to head coach Matt Rhule.


The Huskers ran 120 plays during their ninth practice of camp, working through goal line and two minute drill situations.


Rhule said the day wasn't about scheming, just seeing who could block and tackle after a rough 2025 in both departments.
