Rutgers could not only change the trajectory of its season -- and maybe its entire program -- with an upset victory on Saturday when it travels to Nebraska. It could get a lot of people fired, too.
This is not hyperbole. This is very real. Nebraska lost to Northern Illinois last weekend, falling to 1-2 on the season, and the mood of the fanbase is somewhere just a notch or two below a total riot. They do, after all, know how to use a pitchfork out there.
"Sickening loss," is what one noted Cornhuskers fan -- Larry The Cable Guy -- tweeted after the game.
