Nebraska filled the final spot on its 2021 nonconference schedule with Buffalo, the school announced Tuesday.

The game will take place in Lincoln on Sept. 11, 2021. It'll be the first meeting between the two teams.

In 2021, the Huskers will also play Northern Illinois (Sept. 4) and at Oklahoma (Sept. 18), one of four future games scheduled with the Sooners.

Buffalo is coached by Lance Leipold, a former NU recruiting staff member from 2001-03. The Bulls won the MAC championship in 2008 under former Husker quarterback Turner Gill. Buffalo last reached a bowl game in 2013.

NU also has future home-and-home series scheduled with Oregon (2016, 2017), Oklahoma (2021, 2022 and 2029, 2030), Colorado (2018, 2019 and 2023, 2024), Cincinnati (2020, 2025), Tennessee (2026, 2027) and Arizona (2028, 2031).
