With Nebraska and Illinois set to play the first Friday night football game at Memorial Stadium UNL is adjusting the schedule for students. The university says Friday will be an instructional continuity day.
That means classes are still a go, but will not be in person. Students have been advised to check for messages from instructors on plans. Only essential employees will report to work on campus.
The Huskers are 3-0 and ranked #22 this week and Illinois comes into the game ranked #24. Nebraska hasn’t defeated a ranked team since 2016 when they beat Oregon. Since then they have lost 24 straight games to ranked opponents.
