The Huskers ended up paying FCS Bethune-Cookman $800,000 to play on Oct. 27, which otherwise would have been NU's open date.

The 2025 game between the Huskers and Zips will be NU's second of the season. They are set to open at Illinois on Aug. 30 that year.

The Huskers now have a full schedule for each season through 2022 and one nonconference opening remaining each in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

* Moos on his monthly radio show had glowing reviews for the Nebraska volleyball team.

"This is what we want to move toward with all of our programs and that is to compete year in and year out for championships," Moos said. "John (Cook) has done that. … "It's fun and really exciting to watch him coach and watch those players play and we've got a lot more of it coming down the road."

Moos also was complimentary both of the work that men's basketball team is doing this season and also in Darin Erstad's baseball program.
