The Ohio Bobcats visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET from Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE. Nebraska and Ohio both open their 2026 seasons at 0-0 on Saturday in Lincoln. Nebraska held the passing edge between the two teams in 2025 (224.6 yards per game to Ohio's 184.2), while Ohio had the rushing advantage (227.4 to 145.9). Nebraska is a 23.5-point favorite at DraftKings, with the total set at 46.5. Below, we'll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game. How to Watch Ohio vs. Nebraska Players to Watch Thompson joins Ohio as one of coach John Hauser's most productive imports, and the numbers back that up. He posted 85 total tackles, including 33 solo stops and 5.5 for loss, picked off four passes and added a sack last season at Holy Cross. Ohio won 40 games over the previous four years under Hauser's predecessor, and Hauser inherits both that standard and Thompson's ballhawking presence in the secondary to help defend it. Nebraska brings in a senior transfer quarterback who is still unproven in Lincoln, and a secondary that already produced four interceptions a year ago gives Ohio a real chance to make that debut uncomfortable. Nebraska's quarterback picture is unsettled entering the opener, but Colandrea, a senior, is the most experienced name in the room and the leading candidate to open the season under center. Coach Matt Rhule has won at least seven games in each of his two seasons in Lincoln but still has not beaten a ranked opponent, extending a streak that has reached 29 straight losses to AP top 25 teams. Whoever starts at quarterback will face an Ohio defense that already produced four interceptions and 5.5 tackles for loss from Eli Thompson alone last season. A clean, mistake-free outing at quarterback keeps Rhule's program on track heading into a schedule that only gets tougher from here.

The No. 12 Texas Tech Red Raiders will host the Abilene Christian Wildcats on Saturday in a Week 1 college football matchup on FS1. What an eventful offseason it has been for Texas Tech. After a historic 2025 season in which the Red Raiders went 12-2, won the Big 12 and reached the CFP for the first time in school history before falling to Oregon in the Orange Bowl, Texas Tech brought in top transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby. However, after the NCAA ruled Sorsby ineligible due to extensive violations of its sports wagering policies, the former Cincinnati quarterback eventually stepped away from the program. Now, Will Hammond will take the reins. In 2025, Hammond appeared in nine games (two starts), completing 63.3% of his passes for 680 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. He also added 299 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Texas Tech also returns what could be the best running back duo in the Big 12 in Cameron Dickey and J'Koby Williams. However, the Red Raiders lost defensive captain Jacob Rodriguez, their top two pass rushers — including No. 3 overall pick David Bailey — and their top two cornerbacks from last season. Meanwhile, Abilene Christian is coming off a 9-5 season at the FCS level in 2025. The Wildcats opened their 2026 campaign last week with a 21-14 loss to Lamar. Let’s take a look at the odds for Texas Tech vs. Abilene Christian at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Sept. 5. Spread Over/Under From FOX Sports Research: In Weeks 1 and 2 last season, Texas Tech blew out two inferior opponents as heavy favorites, beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 67-7 and Kent State 64-14. The Red Raiders' offense averaged 42.5 points per game during the regular season, ranking third in the FBS and first in the Big 12. Texas Tech also brought in veteran quarterback Tommy Castellanos just last week, which could help the Over in two ways. Hammond should be extra motivated to play well and solidify his starting job, while Castellanos, who should be available, will have an opportunity to make an impression in his debut against an FCS opponent. Even if Texas Tech builds a big lead, there's reason to believe it won't take its foot off the gas. Last season's early blowouts showed that, and the Red Raiders have enough offensive firepower to potentially hit this total themselves. And if they don't, Abilene Christian could help. Texas Tech lost significant production from last year's defense, and while the Red Raiders reloaded on that side of the ball, it could be difficult to immediately replicate last season's level of success. Take the Over. How to Watch Texas Tech vs. Abilene Christian

Pol Espargaro, who is developing KTM's new 850cc prototype, has warned that MotoGP riders are "not aware of the change that is coming" as part of a sweeping overhaul of technical rules for 2027.

The most significant change will be the switch in tyre suppliers, with Pirelli replacing Michelin, which has been the championship's sole supplier since 2016.
