All they got in was the opening kickoff.

After one play, the season-opening game between Nebraska and Akron was postponed due to nasty weather in Lincoln.

The 8 p.m. kickoff was delayed for three hours before the game was officially cancelled.

The game will not be rescheduled. Instead, Nebraska will open its season next Saturday against Colorado, and Akron will square off against Morgan State next week.
