Empty spots in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Nebraska football schedules should be filled this summer, NU director of football operations Jeff Jamrog said Tuesday.

The Huskers are “really close,” he said, to finalizing contracts for a number of individual games. Once several agreements are complete, “we’ll make an announcement on all of them.”

Jamrog declined to disclose any of the teams, but did say most of them would be “individual games” with the “potential” for some Division I FCS opponents. NU played one in 2010 — South Dakota State — and one in 2011 — Chattanooga.

The Huskers have two open non-conference spots in 2012 and 2014, and one open spot in 2013. But in each season, NU already has a non-conference road game. Like most teams in a Bowl Championship Series autobid-conference, Nebraska prefers to have seven homes games per season.

So scheduling any non-conference road game before 2016 – when, currently, Wyoming, Fresno State and Tennessee are slated to visit Lincoln – was unlikely.

Jamrog did add that NU had agreed “in principle” to a series with an opponent that included a road game. That series may or may not be announced this summer.
