This is the fifth in my series of interviews with 2023 SuperWest nonconference football opponents.
In this episode, I talk with Brian Christopherson, 247Sports beat writer covering Nebraska for Husker247.
We talk about the state of the Nebraska Football program and the current Husker roster.
We also discuss the changing college football landscape and reflect on the meaning of the sport.
Christopherson gives us his sense of Nebraska’s morning game against Colorado in Boulder on September 9 at Folsom Field, and we make our initial predictions.
Nebraska leads the all-time series with the Buffaloes 49-20-2, with Colorado winning the last two in 2018 and 2019, in Boulder and Lincoln, respectively.
You can reach Christopherson on Twitter at @Husker247BC, and I’m always open to your comments at @WordsByBartlett.
