Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos is keeping his options open when it comes to picking up a 12th football game.
But he's definitely committed to making it happen, he told reporters Wednesday in addressing the cancellation of Saturday night's home game against Akron because of widespread and sustained lightning.
He said there is a standing verbal agreement for the schools to attempt to reschedule the game for Saturday, Dec. 1, if neither team is in its conference championship game.
"We kind of left it verbally that we'd like to play the game," Moos said.
However, Nebraska is in the early stages of looking into other options for a 12th game, including potentially playing on its bye week of Oct 27.
