Nebraska vs. Georgia Southern: How to watch, live stream, odds, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers continue the 2022 season Saturday at Memorial Stadium with the Georgia Southern Eagles visiting Lincoln. The Huskers enter the matchup 1-1 on the season (0-1 Big Ten), but the home opening victory over North Dakota marked the fourth straight win dating back to 2019’s home opening victory over South Alabama.

Nebraska has won 35 of its past 37 home openers, including four of five under head coach Scott Frost. Saturday’s matchup also marks the 384th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium, a streak dating back to the 1962 season.

Saturday’s matchup against Georgia Southern marks the first ever between the two programs. Nebraska is, however, 15-2 all-time against Sun Belt Conference members. The most recent game against a member of the Sun Belt came in 2019 against South Alabama, and 16 of the 17 matchups have been played in Lincoln.

The Eagles enter the game 1-0 on the season, having defeated Morgan State in the season opener 59-7. Head coach Clay Helton is in his first season leading Georgia Southern, but the team went 3-9 last season with a 2-6 record in league play. Similar to his team, Clay Helton has never coached against Nebraska as a head coach, either.

The Huskers will be breaking out the new alternate uniform for Saturday’s matchup. The new throwback uniforms recognize the 1983 “Scoring Explosion” season. The game will also include Ag Day at Memorial Stadium, with Nebraska planning several presentations honoring the state’s agricultural background. In addition, the 2022 class of the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame will be honored before the game.
