According to reliable sources ( the upcoming football game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs is set to take place on September 23, 2023, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. Kickoff time is scheduled for 2:30 pm Central Time.

On the offensive side, quarterback Heinrich Haarberg had an impressive outing in his first career start, contributing 256 yards of total offense and three touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs come into this matchup with a record of 2-2. They suffered a close defeat against North Texas in their last game but have shown promise throughout the season with their balanced offensive attack averaging over 400 yards and 31.0 points per game.

In fact, they currently rank second nationally in rushing defense, allowing only 46.3 yards per game on average.
The Blackshirt defense has held each of its first three opponents to less than 100 rushing yards per game. This marks the longest stretch since 2019 that Nebraska has achieved such a feat. Additionally, the team has recorded an impressive 14 sacks in just three games, leading the Big Ten and ranking fourth nationally.
Nebraska’s dominance on defense is complemented by their historical success against current members of Conference USA.
