Nebraska Football: Wisconsin Game Scheduled for Saturday Has Been Cancelled

Going into this season we asked ourselves would Nebraska end up playing the entire nine game schedule. Well that question ended up being answered today as the game against Wisconsin has been cancelled as a result of COVID-19 spread throughout the Wisconsin football program

The spread of the virus has forced Wisconsin to pause all football related activities for seven days.

When Graham Mertz reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 it was a surprise. Then when his back-up Chase Wolf also tested positive the concern that there would actually be a football game became real.

Well it is now official.
