What Colts receiver Josh Downs plans to do against his younger brother
Josh Downs prepares to face his brother Caleb in the NFL!
Nebraska football is projected to face Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl in Nashville for the 2026-27 postseason. This matchup marks the second meeting between the two teams since their 2002 Independence Bowl encounter.
A new list of bowl projections (subscription required) has the Nebraska Cornhuskers facing an SEC foe in the 2026-27 postseason. Brett McMurphy has projected the Huskers to the Music City Bowl in Nashville against the Ole Miss Rebels.
These two programs met only once, in the 2002 Independence Bowl. The Rebels defeated Nebraska 27-23.
Nebraska enters year four of the Matt Rhule era, looking to take the next step as a program. The 2026 schedule is a gauntlet, and the Huskers are looking to improve following a 7-6 season in 2025.
Nebraska's offense will feature a new quarterback following Dylan Raiola's departure to Oregon. Anthony Colandrea joins the Huskers after a successful career at UNLV.
The Huskers have also brought in a new defensive coordinator, Rob Aurich. The hire brings about a philosophical shift for the defense, as he runs a 4-2-5. The Huskers have run a 3-3-5 scheme under Matt Rhule over the past three seasons.
Matt Rhule has made bowl games in each of the last two seasons, ending Nebraska's postseason drought. The Huskers have appeared in the Music City Bowl only once, losing to Tennessee in 2016, 38-24.
