Report: Nebraska ‘trying to get out of’ playing Oklahoma in 2021

By Kevin Sweeney, Sports Illustrated: A high-profile September showdown between former conference rivals may not happen after all.

Nebraska is reportedly “trying to get out of playing Oklahoma” in a non-conference game scheduled for September 18, according to Stadium’s Brett McMurphy. The game was originally scheduled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of a game coined “The Game of the Century” between then No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 OU. McMurphy reports that the Cornhuskers have contacted other schools to play on that date.
