Nebraska will host Bowling Green on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET in the second week of college football action. The matchup will air on FOX Sports 1 and will be available to stream through Fubo, marking the first-ever meeting between these two programs at Memorial Stadium.
The Cornhuskers enter the contest riding momentum after a dominant second-half performance last week. Nebraska trailed at intermission before pulling away for a convincing victory over Ohio. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea led the offensive charge with three passing touchdowns and one rushing score, while the running backs contributed significantly to the attack. Meanwhile, Bowling Green struggled in their opener, falling behind early and never recovering in a loss to Tarleton State, a highly-ranked FCS opponent.
Nebraska finished last season with a 7-6 record following a disappointing bowl game loss, while Bowling Green is in the early stages under new head coach Eddie George, who won the Heisman Trophy during his time at Ohio State. The Falcons managed a 4-8 record in their inaugural season under George’s leadership.
This conference matchup represents a chance for Nebraska to build on its Week 1 success against a mid-major opponent from the Mid-American Conference.
