Where Nebraska stands
The live huskers.com schedule shows Nebraska 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten, on a three-game skid. Most recent result: Saturday, Oct. 31, Washington 17, Nebraska 10 at Memorial Stadium. The two games before that were also one-score losses: 20-17 to Indiana (Oct. 10, Lincoln) and 17-14 at Oregon (Oct. 17). Next up is Friday, Nov. 6 at Illinois, 7:00 p.m. CT on FOX.
Series history
Public compilations from mcubed and Winsipedia list seven meetings through October 2024, with Nebraska holding a 7-0 edge:
- First meeting: Nov. 2, 1920, Nebraska 28-0 at the Polo Grounds in New York.
- Latest meeting: Oct. 5, 2024, Nebraska 14-7 in Lincoln (mcubed’s date; some roundups list Oct. 4).
- Recent meetings have been tight, including 14-13 in Piscataway in 2022.
The unbeaten record is history, not a forecast. The last two meetings were decided by a combined eight points.
The November road swing
Rutgers is the back half of a two-game road stretch that opens Friday night at Illinois. Nebraska’s January schedule release listed five Big Ten road games this season, and Piscataway is one of them. The Huskers then come home for the regular-season home finale against Ohio State on Nov. 21.
Traveling to the game
Fans heading east should watch huskers.com for ticket and travel information closer to game week. Since this is an Eastern time zone game, check the final kickoff time before making plans.
Bottom line: Nov. 14 at Rutgers is the second leg of Nebraska’s November road swing. Kickoff and TV are still TBA, and Nebraska will look to keep its perfect record in the series.
