By the Numbers
  • Nebraska: 5-0 start, followed by four straight losses.
  • Rutgers: three consecutive losses.
  • Anthony Colandrea: 2,109 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns and 381 rushing yards.
  • Kwazi Gilmer: 46 catches, 603 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

Yes, But

Nebraska’s defense has been stout against the run, allowing 90.3 yards per game, but Rutgers’ Raymond averages 5.3 yards per carry. The Cornhuskers will also need Colandrea to avoid turnovers after he threw three interceptions against Washington before bouncing back with no picks against Illinois.

What’s Next

A Nebraska win would make the Cornhuskers bowl eligible and snap their losing streak. Rutgers is seeking its first win since mid-October.

Bottom Line

Nebraska’s bowl hopes hinge on ending its slide, while Rutgers has a chance to turn its own losing run around at home.
