The teams last met in the regular season in 1976, but have been bowl foes five times between 1983 and 1991. The Canes won three national championships, beating the Huskers in the postseason in 1983, 1991 and 2001.
Nebraska beat Miami in the 1995 Orange Bowl for their first title since 1971.
The Canes will travel to Huskerland on September 20th, 2014 with a return trip to Dolphin Stadium on September 12th 2015.
Kudos to University of Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt for inking this deal. Upon taking the job, Hocutt talked about high profile out of conference games being a priority, as always at The U.
Miami/Nebraska is just another big-time, high profile, out of conference match up for the Canes. Some others that will take place in the coming years:
Miami/Oklahoma – 2009 (return game from 2007)
Miami/Ohio State – 2010 & 2011
Miami/South Florida – 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013
Miami/Central Florida – 2008 & 2009
Miami/Kansas State – 2011 & 2012
Miami/Cincinnati – 2012
Miami/Florida – 2013 (return game from 2008)
Hocutt has also thrown it out there that Miami would like to schedule a home-and-home with Notre Dame, but nothing from the Irish on that one yet.
