Nebraska returns to Lincoln for Homecoming Weekend as the Huskers take on Rutgers in a Big Ten
Conference matchup at Memorial Stadium. Game time is set for 3 p.m. CT with FS1 providing the
television coverage of the contest. The game can also be heard on the Huskers Radio Network and
the Huskers App.

The Huskers stand at 4-1 on the season and 1-1 in Big Ten Conference play following a 28-10 road
victory at Purdue. After trailing 3-0 deep into the third quarter, Nebraska exploded for 28 points in just
over 12 minutes of action to pull away for the victory. The Nebraska defense limited Purdue to just three
points until the game’s final minutes, while the balanced Husker offense drove into Purdue territory on
every possession in the game.

Rutgers comes to Lincoln with a 4-0 record following a 21-18 victory on Friday night against Washington
in the Scarlet Knights’ Big Ten opener. The win over the Huskies followed a perfect non-conference slate
highlighted by a road victory at Virginia Tech. Coach Greg Schiano’s team features one of the nation’s
top rushing offenses, as Rutgers averages 237.8 rushing yards per contest and better than 420 yards
per game in total offense. The Scarlet Knights have committed just two turnovers through four games
in the 2024 season.

Saturday’s game marks the first matchup between the schools in Lincoln since 2017. The past two meetings between Nebraska and Rutgers have been in Piscataway with the Huskers winning in both 2020 and 2022. Overall, Nebraska has won all six meetings in the series, including both games at Memorial Stadium.
