Game Week
4d 21h
until kickoff · at Emporia State · Sat Sep 19 · 5 pm ET
Nebraska-Kearney is the Loper program of the prairie — a historic university with deep roots (founded 1905) and 32 conference championships, playing steady football in the heartland without need for national validation.
No chip — the Lopers are happy to be competitive in the MIAA. The fanbase plays for the Fort Hays rivalry and the conference standing, not national redemption.
