Nebraska Holds Off Cincinnati with Late Interception for 20-17 Win at Arrowhead Stadium

Nebraska, favored by a touchdown, aims to improve after a 7-6 season while Cincinnati faces low expectations following an 0-5 finish, with both teams starting strong then struggling last year.

  • The Nebraska Cornhuskers arrived in Kansas City on August 27, 2025, to play Cincinnati in a primetime college football game at Arrowhead Stadium.
  • This game continues a tradition of Nebraska leaving their home state to open their season, marking the fifth time in six years they do so in a neutral-site or special venue.
  • The matchup, scheduled for 8 p.m. on ESPN, features returning quarterbacks and showcases Nebraska’s nickname for the event as 'Operation Arrow Storm' tied to strong Chiefs connections.
  • Upwards of 70,000 Huskers fans are expected, with Nebraska favored by about a touchdown and key players like Dylan Raiola engaging with Chiefs’ culture, including receiving traction advice from Patrick Mahomes.
  • This game offers Nebraska and Cincinnati a chance to start their 2025 campaigns under coaches Matt Rhule and Scott Satterfield and to build momentum amid low expectations for Cincinnati and hopes for Nebraska’s progress.
