Kickoff time announced for Nebraska’s game at Michigan

The kickoff time has officially been announced for the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ week 11 road matchup against the No. 5 Michigan Wolverines on Nov. 12. The game will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. Central Time and will air on ABC.

The Huskers will look to snap a three-game losing streak when the team takes the field in Ann Arbor that includes home losses to Minnesota and Illinois and dates back to a 37-43 road loss at Purdue win Week Eight.

Michigan checked in at No. 5 in the inaugural College Football Playoff rankings this past week and is ranked No. 4 in both the latest AP Poll and AFCA Coaches Poll at time of publication of this article. It is likely the Wolverines will move up in the upcoming rankings should Michigan win as a result of the tough 13-27 road loss by Tennessee at Georgia earlier today.
