The Big Ten opener for Rutgers football has the potential to be a very interesting game this weekend. As you probably know by now, Nebraska enters this matchup on a two game losing streak after suffering defeats against Oregon and Northern Illinois. While Rutgers has also lost to teams from the PAC-12 and the MAC, in Washington and Eastern Michigan, the Scarlet Knights at least have some positive momentum entering this game after a 65-0 victory over Morgan State.
To call the current climate in Nebraska tense after the loss to Northern Illinois would be a massive understatement.
