Matt Rhule will have an opportunity to coach a game inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and Nebraska football will face off against new conference rival, USC.
Conference realignment has changed the way college football works and the matchups that happen every weekend. On Saturday, Nebraska travels to Los Angeles, California to take on USC. In years past, this would have been a very special nonconference matchup between two historic programs, but in 2024, this is a conference game. It is the first time these two storied programs will meet as Big Ten opponents.
“I was there as a graduate assistant at UCLA, and UCLA had had beaten USC like five times in a row,” Rhule said. “It was Pete Carroll's first year and they were struggling a little bit and then we went there and they beat us. I think it was the second-to-last game of the year because of 9/11. Then they were off and running. It was a great experience the first time… I mean it's it's an iconic place, a lot of history… obviously there's been great coaches, great players.
