The beginning of the 2022 college football season is now just 2 days away, with a handful of teams set to make their debut for this year in the coming days.

The Northwestern Wildcats are one of those teams, set to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 11:30 a.m. Central time on Saturday. The game is unique for several reasons, primarily for the fact that it will be played overseas in Ireland instead of at either team’s stadium in the United States.

Ahead of Saturday, the Northwestern football team released photos of its special edition Irish flag helmets.

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out in such a different setting than we’re used to seeing in college football, though Nebraska is largely expected to come out on top in the matchup.
