Nebraska hosts UTEP in its opener on Saturday. The Cornhuskers haven't won an opener since 2019 and are four-touchdown favorites against the Miners. The game marks the debut of freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, the highest-ranked recruit ever signed by the Cornhuskers. UTEP has had just two winning seasons since 2006. The Miners begin the Scotty Walden era. The 34-year-old Walden takes over for Dana Dimel after going 26-14 at Austin Peay. Eleven of his Austin Peay players followed him to El Paso.
