The Nebraska football team squares off against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this week and the fact that the two teams haven’t faced off all that often is just one of the interesting aspects of this matchup. There’s also the fact that the game is on a Friday night, rather than Saturday.
While the Huskers are looking to improve on their 2-3 record and get to .500 for the first time in a long time. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Knights are trying to stave off falling back to .500 after starting the season 3-0.
This is a big game for the Nebraska football team. It’s a must win if Mickey Joseph wants to prove that the team is really buying in. Because of that, there will likely be a ton of eyes on the Friday night tilt.
