The Colorado-Nebraska game will again be televised to 100 percent of the country and will remain on the day after Thanksgiving, school and ABC-TV network officials announced.

The game will be telecast for the 14th straight season on Nov. 27 from Boulder, Colo. Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. ET.

The Nebraska-Colorado game has been extremely competitive since the Big 12 was formed in 1996. Nebraska owns a 9-4 lead in the series since the CU-NU game was moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving as the premier matchup in the Big 12 North Division, but that includes a stretch of five Huskers wins by a combined total of 15 points between 1996 and 2000.

The Nebraska game will be Colorado's third nationally televised game. The Buffaloes will appear in two ESPN Thursday night games -- at West Virginia on Oct. 1 and at Oklahoma State on Nov. 19.
