This year's "make-up" game will be Ireland's first college football game since the 2016 season when Georgia Tech beat Boston College 17-14. Instead, the Cornhuskers began 2021 with a loss to the Illini in Champaign. Nebraska was supposed to open the 2021 season against Illinois in Ireland, but plans changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 7: This will be the seventh college football game played in Ireland. They aren't likely to have an offense capable of scoring 30 points per game in 2022, either, so the defense must improve if they are to entertain the prospect of returning to a bowl game. After allowing only 15.9 points per game en route to a division title in 2020, the Wildcats allowed 29.0 points per game last season while lacking the offense capable of making up that deficit. Long-time defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz retired following the 2020 season and was replaced by Jim O'Neil, who inherited a young defense.

In other words, both teams hope to wipe the slate clean and start fresh in 2022.Ĭheck out LIVE updates from the top games in Week 0 Nebraska vs. Unfortunately for Northwestern, that loss was one of many low points for a team that also lost its final six games of the season. However, that marked Nebraska's last win, with Scott Frost's team losing six straight games to finish the year. A big reason they pulled off that semi-impressive feat was due to a 56-7 win over Northwestern. The Huskers went 1-8 in Big Ten play while scoring as many points (239) as they allowed.
