Each of the 18 teams of the Big Ten will play 18 conference games, facing one opponent twice and the other 16 once. For the Huskers, they’ll face Iowa twice (Jan. 16 and Feb. 10). Conference play begins for Nebraska Dec. 8 at home against Minnesota, before the Huskers head to Los Angeles to face UCLA (Dec. 29) and USC (Jan. 1).
