The Nebraska Cornhuskers are thousands of miles from home for their season opener against the Northwestern Wildcats. However, that didn’t stop their fanbase from making the trip to Dublin, Ireland.

On Saturday, Nebraska and Northwestern clash at Aviva Stadium. Kick-off is set for 12:30 p.m. ET.

Earlier this Friday, a video surfaced on Twitter of Nebraska fans taking over Ireland.

The fans chanted “Go Big Red” in preparation for tomorrow’s game.

After watching this video, Nebraska fans may well travel.

Nebraska enters its fifth year with Scott Frost at the helm. In 2021, the Cornhuskers finished the season with a 3-9 ‘record’.

Despite how the past seasons have gone, there is optimism surrounding Nebraska this fall. If the team can live up to its potential, it could be competitive in the Big Ten West.

Saturday’s showdown between Nebraska and Northwestern will air on FOX.
