Storms steal Nebraska's thunder as season-opener against Akron is canceled

The potential for a make-up game is not immediately known, though university officials said no definite plans exist and there is not a clear date that works for both teams before December.

Neither NU athletic director Bill Moos nor head coach Scott Frost were made available to reporters Saturday evening after the game was called, and the soonest availability with Frost is Monday afternoon.

It was not immediately known if the fact that the game began — Akron kicked off before play was halted because of lightning — and was suspended rather than outright canceled has any impact on whether Akron is compensated for making the trip.
