NU Athletic Director Steve Pederson
Nebraska’s 2008 non-conference football schedule is virtually complete.
Husker athletic director Steve Pederson said Thursday he has received signed contracts from San Jose State and New Mexico State. A home-and-home series against Virginia Tech had been announced last year.
Nebraska currently is awaiting a signed contract from Western Michigan for a 2008 game, Pederson said.
Once Nebraska receives the contract from Western Michigan, Pederson will formally unveil a 2008 schedule that will have the Huskers opening with five straight home games: Sept. 6 against San Jose State, Sept. 13 against New Mexico State, Sept. 20 against Virginia Tech, Sept. 27 against Western Michigan and Oct. 4 against Big 12 rival Missouri.
The Huskers are set to play eight home games in 2008 after playing seven in 2007.
San Jose State, of the Western Athletic Conference, finished with a 9-4 record last season. The Spartans lost 49-13 to the Huskers in 2000 in Lincoln in the teams’ only previous meeting.
New Mexico State, also of the WAC, was 4-8 in 2006 after going 0-12 in 2005. Nebraska is 2-0 all-time against the Aggies.
Western Michigan, a Mid-American Conference squad, was 8-5 last season. The Broncos and Huskers would be meeting for the first time.
Nebraska also is nearing completion of its 2009 non-conference schedule. A home game Sept. 5 against Florida Atlantic and a Sept. 19 contest at Virginia Tech previously have been announced.
Pederson also has announced home-and-home series against Washington (2010-11), UCLA (2012-13) and Tennessee (2016-17).
Nebraska opens the 2007 season Sept. 1 against Nevada in Lincoln. The Huskers’ subsequent non-conference games this coming season are Sept. 8 at Wake Forest, Sept. 15 against Southern California in Lincoln and Sept. 22 against Ball State in Lincoln.
