The Big 12 and ABC/ESPN announced Tuesday that the NU-Colorado game will be Nov. 26 at Memorial Stadium with a 2:30 p.m. CST kickoff. It will be the 15th consecutive meeting between the Huskers and Buffaloes that is played the day after Thanksgiving, spanning the duration of the Big 12's existence.
It also will be the 18th consecutive NU-CU game carried by ABC.
Two other games on the Huskers' schedule for next season previously have been given kickoff times and television assignments.
