Nebraska’s 20-game win streak at Memorial Stadium under the lights is on the line this Saturday as the Huskers welcome in No. 9 Wisconsin to Lincoln. And the student section wants fans dressed for the occasion.
The Iron N — the official student section for Nebraska football — tweeted that this week’s game would be a “blackout,” encouraging everyone attended to sport black-colored clothing for the contest.
This Saturday. We wear BLACK.

Nebraska’s record for night games at home is 46-5, but this week will present quite the challenge with the undefeated Badgers coming to town.
Last year’s game in Madison was decided in overtime, as Wisconsin edged out the Huskers.
This year, the students really want to keep that 20-game home win streak under the lights alive and hope the “blackout” will give the Huskers an extra boost on Saturday night.
