If Rutgers and Nebraska have anything in common right now, it is that both teams learned not to sleep on teams from the MAC.
In Week 2, Rutgers had some of the life sucked out of its season when Eastern Michigan improved to 1-38 all-time against the Big Ten.
In Week 3, Nebraska put coach Mike Riley on the hot seat by losing to Northern Illinois for its first back-to-back non-conference losses (Oregon was the first) since 1957.
