Gameday greetings from Lincoln, everyone.
More than eight months since the Cougars fell 55-48 in double overtime to Memphis in the Miami Beach Bowl, they take the field again today against one of the most storied programs in all of college football, Nebraska.
It is going to be hot, windy and humid at sold-out Memorial Stadium (87,000), so hot that Nebraska officials are allowing fans to take two bottles of water each into the stadium.
The Cougars have talked for months about the impact that new strength coach Frank Wintrich and his staff have had on their conditioning level.
