Nebraska Vs Fau Watch Party

Nebraska begins its 125th season of college football by playing host to Florida Atlantic (FAU) on Saturday afternoon with kickoff for the Huskers’ season opener set for 3:30 p.m. We will host our watch party at Packy’s Sports Pub located at 4480 N. Federal Highway, in Lighthouse Point, 33064, 954-657-8423. Packy’s will have some home-made Runzas along with a variety of drink specials including Red Beer. Packy’s is a family friendly restaurant so all are encouraged to attend. Packy’s is located just 3/4 of a mile north of Sample on US Hwy 1 on the east side of the street.

The Huskers return 14 starters from last year’s team, and Nebraska will open the 2014 season ranked 22nd in both major national polls. Nebraska carries the nation’s longest winning streak in season openers into Saturday’s game. The Huskers have won 28 straight season openers dating back to 1986, including a 2009 win over Florida Atlantic in the season opener in the two schools’ only previous meeting.

A half-time raffle will take place, which raises money for our scholarship fund with the University of Nebraska Foundation. Raffle items include gift certificates, bottles of Dorothy Lynch Salad Dressing, Nebraska T-shirts and Husker memorabilia.
