Nebraska hits the road for the first time in 2015, traveling to the Sunshine State for a matchup with the Miami Hurricanes. The matchup features two of college football's storied programs, with the schools combining for 10 national championships, including eight since 1983. Nebraska will bring a 1-1 record into the contest following a 48-9 victory over South Alabama last Saturday night in Lincoln. The Huskers played a complete game on both sides of the ball. Offensively, NU had good balance in rolling up 561 yards of total offense, while the Blackshirts limited the Jaguars to just 19 rushing yards.

Miami is 2-0 after posting a 44-20 victory at FAU on Friday night. The Hurricanes rolled up better than 500 yards of total offense in the win over the Owls, including 287 passing yards by quarterback Brad Kaaya.

The game marks Nebraska's first regular-season game in Florida since a 1951 road contest against Miami. NU has since played 22 bowl games in Florida, including 17 Orange Bowls, with two of those at Sun Life Stadium.

Coach Riley on Miami and what it means to the players:

I understand the great history of this (Miami) game and some of the historical ramifications of the game against Miami being played for national championships. That’s pretty good stuff, and it’s led to a nice, current day rivalry. I know our players… I did not realize how they felt except through time, hearing them talk. I think… unfortunately it won’t happen, but I think the first thing De’Mornay said to me when he got hurt is, 'I really want to play in that Miami game.' So I’ve been getting a feel for what this means to this team and program. They look like a good football team, obviously with the speed they have. The running backs are featured players. The quarterback had a big day passing last year against Nebraska. We kind of know what we’re heading into there...
