The Nebraska football team knows that it's got its work cut out for it this weekend against Maryland for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is that it's the Huskers' first actual road game of the year and the first time they've played more than 210 miles away from home.
The Cornhuskers' head coach is taking special precautions to get his squad ready for Saturday afternoon. That includes leaving for College Park a day early. NU will get on the road on Thursday so they can better adjust to being away from Memorial Stadium and on East Coast time.
