The Cincinnati Bearcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2020 and 2025, it was announced on Thursday.
Nebraska will host the first game of the series at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on September 12, 2020. In the second and final game of the series, the Cornhuskers will travel to play the Bearcats at Nippert Stadium on September 13, 2025.
The first and only meeting between these two schools was way back on Nov. 29, 1906. Nebraska blanked Cincinnati 41-0 in Lincoln.
News of the series first came to light this morning when UC athletic director Whit Babcock tweeted that a scheduling announcement was forthcoming.

Nebraska is the second non-conference game scheduled in 2020 for Cincinnati, with the other being a trip to face the Ohio Bobcats. The Cornhuskers are the first game announced for UC in 2025.
As for the Cornhuskers, the two games versus Cincinnati are the first announced for both the 2020 and 2025 seasons.

They also scheduled a home and home in mens hoops in 2013 and 2014. I am trying to think if any other teams that arent natural rivals have done that recently.
