PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Nebraska will travel to Rutgers for the first time since 2015 when they take on the Scarlet Knights in a rare Friday match-up.
NU (2-5) is fresh off a very disappointing home loss to Minnesota, while Rutgers (3-5) won at Maryland a week ago.
Here are today’s keys to victory for the Huskers over the Scarlet Knights. Nebraska enters today’s game as a 6.5 point favorite.
