"Coaches thought Huskers fans would travel well enough to be 70/30, 30% of Huskers fans. It's actually 70/30 the other way – this stadium is 70% Huskers fans" ~@BruceFeldmanCFB

Saturday is the 71st all-time meeting between these two programs. Former Big 12 Conference rivals, the two met every year from 1948-2010 with Nebraska holding the edge, 49-19,2.
Colorado won last year’s game in Lincoln, 33-28. In what was the first game of his collegiate career, Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez finished 15-20 for 187 and three touchdowns (two rushing) vs. the Buffaloes in 2018.
