Nebraska football has never lost to Rutgers. Will that change on Saturday?
Rutgers football will put its 4-0 record on the line on Saturday when it takes on Nebraska in Memorial Stadium.
The last matchup between the two teams came in the 2022 season and was a home game for the Scarlet Knights. Both teams were 3-3 and Nebraska had already fired former head coach Scott Frost and promoted Mickey Joseph as interim head coach. Rutgers also hosted the 2020 game, which was another close loss for the Scarlet Knights. This game was tied at 21 heading into the fourth quarter and was another opportunity for Rutgers to get its elusive win over Nebraska. However, a 92-yard drive by the Huskers put the final touchdown on the board and the Huskers escaped with a 28-21 victory.
Those teams were very different than the two that will play each other on Saturday. The history of the series is as one-sided as it gets, but expect another competitive game this year, just like the previous two in the series. This is also the first matchup between Nebraska coach Matt Rhule and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano. Huskers' freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is also getting his first taste of playing against Rutgers, and he knows it will be a challenge.
