Photos: Huskers get special cleats for Miami game

The rivalry with Miami and Nebraska is a historic one that deserves lots of attention even if the programs have fallen below the standards that made the rivalry great back in the 90s.

Their apparel maker Adidas certainly thinks so as both teams are getting some special gear for the game. The Huskers will be getting this special cleat to wear down in Miami as they try to get their first road win of the season:

The cleats were designed by painter Dan Gamache and he had this to say to SI about the cleats:

“Nebraska has their history and what they are know for is a tough team, an old-school team, the Tom Osborne team,” Gamache says. “The challenge was to do something artistic and keep to the roots of Nebraska.”

The teams will square off at 3:30ET/2:30CT on Saturday. The Huskers won the matchup last season 41-31.
