I had two games last year that I needed to listen to via streaming on my phone and it wasn't easy. This information applied last year, but probably applies this year also.
Nebraska has contracted with NeuLion for internet presence, which includes streaming of the games online. NeuLion owns all internet streaming rights and they can block anyone else from streaming the game online. Any radio station that broadcasts the game over the air, does not have the right to stream it over the internet and will play different content over the internet during the game.
You may be able to find a small station who accidentally streams it over the internet for an early game. I used TuneIn last year to find the Lexington station that was streaming an early game. But I imagine that NeuLion was checking up on the affiliates and let them know that they weren't supposed to do that because in later games I could not find anyone of the affiliates who was streaming the game on the internet.
NeuLion does have a Nebraska app that allows you to receive the game, but to me it seemed kind of expensive. Although I don't remember the price. They had it for android at least, but I would think that they have one for the iPhone also. The app didn't let you access the premium video feeds, unless you subscribed to those also.
If you access the huskers.com website with a default phone browser, they will block the game streams and point you to buying the app.
What I ended up doing was changing the User Agent on my phones web browser from android to desktop. I then accessed the huskers.com website and it would think that I was a computer and provide the full huskers.com website. The way they laid out the desktop website is not very friendly and is hard to navigate on the phone, but I could get to the game streaming page and bring up the game and stream it to my phone. To make it easier to get to the list of games, I think that I bookmarked the page on my PC and then shared it with my phone so I could go directly to it. Changing the User Agent in the last couple releases of Android is real easy and is selected under the Advanced Option menu in the browser. With older versions of Android I think you need to load Firefox, Chrome, Dolphin or other alternate browser and then there were plugins that would allow you to change it. I don't know how to do it on an iPhone.
The only drawback I had doing this was, the player window had to be kept active to receive the stream. You could not do anything else with the phone. I could turn off the screen and walk around with it fine. But if I used another app the stream would stop. But this wasn't a big deal for me. Streaming it this way also ate up a lot of battery.
I would suggest you try this with other live content available on huskers.com before Saturday to work out any issues.
The other option may be to find a stream from our opponent and see if you can listen to their internet stream either through their website or through iHeartRadio or TuneIn. I did this for one game last year. But if the opponent’s school has contracted with NeuLion you will have the same issue.
Does SiriusXM broadcast the Nebraska games? I am not sure if they do, but if you have a contract with them you can stream their stations to your phone. But I don't know if this also applies to live games.
TL
R - It is hard to get live NU games on your phone because of the contract Nebraska has with NeuLion.
