[Husker] UDub; 3 times within one year

[Jerry Meyer]

Probably several times in early years the Huskers have played one team three times in the course of a year but in 1891 they played Doane three times in just a little over a month.  Won on10/31/1891 28-4, lost on 11/14/1891 12-14 and won again on 12/05/1891 32-0.

The List is quiet so here is a query:

Last year the Huskers played the Washington Huskies twice; once in Seattle (W 59-21) and once in the Holiday Bowl (L 7-19).  Now they meet again this Saturday.  It will be less than 365 days since the first matchup in Seattle.

In 1978 Nebraska beat the Sooners on 11/11/78 and then played them again on New Year's Day.  Nebraska and Oklahoma played next on 11/24/79.

2 questions:


1.    Why didn't Nebraska and Oklahoma play on Thanksgiving weekend in 1978?

2.    Have the Huskers ever played a team 3 times within a one year period?
