Huskers Run Rule in a Raritan River Romp over Rutgers
On a cold November afternoon on the banks of the Raritan River in Piscataway, the Nebraska Cornhuskers dominated from start to finish in a 31-0 romp over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Nebraska improved to 8-0 all-time against Rutgers, tying for the most wins without a loss by the Huskers against an FBS opponent (also Utah State and Wyoming). It was also its first-ever shutout in a Big Ten Conference game, and their first shutout in a conference game since 2003 against Iowa State. It was their first shutout in a conference road game since 1997 at Kansas.
