Nebraska football will continue a streak of afternoon kickoffs as the Huskers head to the East Coast next week.

The Big Ten Conference and its television partners announced on Monday afternoon that Nebraska football's road trip to Maryland on Saturday, Oct. 11, will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CDT and will be televised on the Big Ten Network. The contest will also be available on the FOX Sports and the FOX One apps, with radio coverage provided by the Huskers Radio Network across its affiliate stations.

The road contest will be Nebraska's first true road test of the season, as the Huskers opened the season with a neutral-site matchup at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium against Cincinnati, then followed with four home games at Memorial Stadium. Nebraska does not return to Lincoln until Saturday, Oct. 25, hosting Northwestern.

Maryland (4-0, 1-0 B1G) continues Big Ten play on Saturday, hosting Washington, while the Huskers (3-1, 0-1 B1G) take on Michigan State for Nebraska's homecoming game. The Nebraska-Maryland matchup is the Huskers' second appearance on the Big Ten Network this season. Nebraska took down Akron 68-0 on BTN on Sept. 6.

Nebraska has two future contests already slated for kickoff times and television designations, as Nebraska travels to Minnesota on Friday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. on FOX, while the Big Red wrap up the regular season at home against Iowa on Friday, Nov. 28, at 11 a.m. on CBS. The remaining regular-season kickoff times will be determined 12 or six days in advance.

The Big Ten Conference also announced the remaining Big Ten Conference game kickoff times and television broadcasts for the Oct. 10-11 weekend. Rutgers travels to Washington for a Friday night kickoff on FS1 at 8 p.m., while Ohio State travels to Illinois on FOX and UCLA visits Michigan on BTN at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning. Indiana at Oregon will join the Nebraska/Maryland kickoff time at 2:30 p.m. on CBS, while Northwestern at Penn State will be broadcast on FS1.

The evening kickoffs feature Iowa at Wisconsin on FS1 at 6 p.m. CDT, while Michigan visits USC on NBC at 6:30 p.m. Purdue and Minnesota finish the weekend slate on BTN at 6:30 p.m.

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule stated the game would be played at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time during his Monday press conference in preparation for the Michigan State contest. Rhule added that his team is motivated to get back to playing after the Huskers' bye week and week four 30-27 loss to Michigan.

"No one cares about your feelings," Rhule said. "I was frustrated. They're frustrated. Play better. That's the message."

Nebraska football takes on Michigan State on Saturday from Lincoln's Memorial Stadium with kickoff at 3 p.m. CDT. The contest will be televised on FS1 and broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network.
