Revenge as Nebraska hosts Indiana in Saturday Big Ten Clash

The clock is ticking down to a massive Big Ten clash this Saturday. Fans across the country are getting ready for Indiana versus Nebraska, and the scene is set at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. The kickoff happens at 12:00 p.m. ET, which translates to 9:00 a.m. PT on October 10, 2026. Viewers can catch the action live on FOX or stream it directly via FOX One.

This matchup carries heavy weight because of what happened last time around. The Cornhuskers are coming into town seeking revenge after getting crushed by Indiana in their previous meeting back in 2024. That game ended with a miserable 56-7 scoreline for Nebraska, and the Huskers want to flip that script now.

The schedule is packed with other action leading up to the main event. Friday night brings Iowa versus Washington at 9:00 p.m. ET. Saturday morning gets underway with Indiana taking on Nebraska, followed by Ball State against Northwestern just thirty minutes later. The afternoon ramps up with Houston versus Kansas State and Illinois versus Michigan State both starting at 3:30 p.m. ET. Then Maryland faces Ohio State, Nevada takes on UTEP, Minnesota battles Purdue, and Hawaii goes up against Arizona State in the late evening slots.

History books will be open during this contest. Indiana holds an overall edge of 11-9-3 across twenty-three meetings that stretch back to 1936. Yet the venue split tells a strange story: Indiana sits at just 3-3-1 when playing at home, while holding an 8-6-2 record on the road in Lincoln where most games have taken place. Only four of those thirty-two contests were conference matchups, and even then they remain evenly split two to two.

The rivalry has seen some wild swings over the decades. Indiana's finest moment came with seven straight wins from 1941 through 1947. They dropped a massive 54-0 beatdown of Nebraska in 1944 that still stands as their biggest victory margin ever. Nebraska responded by winning five in a row during a long stretch spanning from 1975 to 2016, including a crushing 69-17 win in Bloomington in 1978 which remains the largest blowout either side has ever recorded. The closest finish was back in 1956 when Indiana squeaked by with a 19-14 victory. Things got ugly recently too, as Indiana dominated that last meeting in Bloomington on October 19, 2024, after building an insurmountable lead early in the second half.
