Post-Spring 2025 Nebraska Football Schedule Predictions

A manageable early schedule for the 2025 Huskers still contains plenty of landmines.

In this story:

The Common Fans go through the 2025 schedule and pick wins and losses for every game. 

  • The ax forgets, but the tree remembers. It’s time for Nebraska football to be the ax again. 
  • Early part of the schedule lines up well for the Huskers. 
  • Under the lights at Arrowhead. 
  • First conference game vs. Michigan a major opportunity. 
  • Husker fans sweating the trip to Minneapolis?
  • No one knows that to make of Northwestern. 
  • Ending with a grind vs. USC, UCLA, Penn State and Iowa. 
  • Year 3 for Matt Rhule – it’s time to win some games we haven’t in recent years.
