Examine the current lines closely and find your edge with our Nebraska vs. Rutgers betting preview and prediction for their Friday night clash.

Rutgers hasn’t given up a ton elsewhere this season but that recent poor performance on the round gives pause to their continued success now that Big Ten play is in high gear. But the Ohio State performance was the first time they had allowed multiple rushing scores in a single game this season. Start Grant in all formats and stay away from the Rutgers quarterback situation. Each defense has shown the ability to cover the deep middle and outside, while they have minor discrepancies on throws to the intermediate level of the field and in between the numbers. Rutgers had been good previously against the run, but the roadmap the Buckeyes showcased and the similar offense that Ohio State runs sets up Grant for a big day. With the only single-game entry on FanDuel residing in Memphis, you’re at the whim of other bigger-name players across the board to fill your roster.

Friday's game could affect Rutgers and Nebraska's head-to-head recruiting matchup as their 2023 recruiting classes are separated by just percentage points.

When Rutgers football's season comes to an end, tonight's game against Nebraska will go a long way toward how the entire campaign is remembered.

"Local fans are looking forward to the game this afternoon with a great zest of anticipation," the New York Times reported the day of the game. You never got the sense Rutgers was going to win that game. Rutgers 28, Nebraska 24 Until we do, it's going to be hard to see it scoring enough to win. The Scarlet Knights need to be more productive offensively. A lot is working toward Rutgers' favor − primetime "blackout" game at home, in front of what should be a packed crowd.

Read on for college football odds, betting picks and predictions for Nebraska vs. Rutgers on Friday, October 7.

Rutgers has been great against the run. The issue has been Thompson holding the ball too long trying to make the big play. It has been really good against the pass, ranking 33rd in Success Rate. The Rutgers defense has actually been pretty good this year. Edge rusher Wesley Bailey leads a unit that is third in the Big Ten with 33 tackles for loss. Running the ball has gone a little bit better, but Rutgers is still just 80th in Success Rate. The Huskers are allowing 200 rushing yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry. They have been a little better against the pass, only sitting 105th. The Huskers want to play at a fast pace, sitting in the top 25 in seconds per play. Now the defense, on the other hand, has been quite an issue. In five previous meetings, Nebraska is 5-0, including 4-0 in the last eight years. After a 3-0 start, Rutgers has dropped two conference games and looks to get back on track against a reeling Huskers team.

You just need to find a way to way to press reset, get back to zero to find a way to execute the next mission, the next job." After that, they play a struggling Indiana team at home before going on the road to play Minnesota. It's the ultimate team sport and right now as the head coach I need to figure out with our staff to get that part of the team playing better, and to continue have the other two phases get better and better as we go." It was a questionable call, to say the least. "Certainly it's frustrating when you are playing well enough on one or two of the phases and not on the other," Schiano said. "So when he's the most healthy, he's the most experienced. Melton’s blocked punt led to a 25-yard field goal by Jude McAtamney after Vedral ran for one yard and then threw two incomplete passes (no one was open in the end zone on his second pass so he had to throw it away). Rutgers went three-and-out after Braswell’s interception, and then couldn’t take advantage of Melton’s either – although the officials didn’t help. The Scarlet Knights came into this game needing a victory after two straight defeats – both to top-tier defenses in Iowa and Ohio State. But Vedral didn’t play the last two series of the first half and was replaced by Simon. "We didn't take advantage of opportunities in the first half," Schiano said. Its stifling defense smothered Nebraska most of the night, creating golden chances for the offense.

Former Nebraska football coach Scott Frost is in the center of new rumors as he was reportedly spotted taking in an Arizona State practice.

While I’d obviously like the Huskers to have the first pick, there are names that have had quite a bit more success than Frost in recent days. There’s even a website out there called Clutch Points that believes that Frost is one of the top 3 candidates for the Sun Devils’ job. Having said that, it is a bit surprising that there’s apparently some push behind the idea that Frost should [take over for Herm Edwards](https://huskercorner.com/2022/09/23/nebraska-football-herm-edwards-scott-frost/).

The Huskers did okay, but a great catch by Palmer was ruled short of the sticks (I thought forward progress was a thing, but it apparently is not). The Rutgers drive got scary close (Malcolm Hartzog had a nice pass breakup) and on fourth and 19, Rutgers had to choose between a 58 yard field goal and the Hail Mary against a reeling Husker team. Rutgers penalties pushed the Knights back to a second and 30. Third and long...complete, but short of the sticks. He can’t play defense if Caleb Tannor (also #2) is playing.

So when Nebraska took the second-half kickoff and drove for a touchdown to make it a one-score game, the pressure was one. Rutgers dominated the first half but failed to take advantage of a host of opportunities. In the end, there was no miracle finish.

Nebraska DC Bill Busch to anyone who will listen: "That's going to be a flight home! Got a text saying "Grant killed a guy!" Nebraska football erased a 13-0 deficit in the second half of the 14-13 win over Rutgers on Friday night. It felt like a boulder was on their back and and cement shoes were strapped to their feet at times. But what we should also talk about is this Busch-led defense which has shut out both Indiana and Rutgers in the second half of their respective games. We can and should talk about how disjointed the offense looked on Friday night. Mickey Joseph’s team just needs to find a way to win. Of course and Nebraska fans should be as well. If your team was playing in a “dumpster fire” game would you be happy that they won? It was bad. Rutgers was no different. Nebraska was not good.

The Huskers had lost ten straight one possession games and now have earned back-to-back victories in the Big Ten for the first time since 2018. It was sloppy ...

For a few hours the Huskers are sitting in first place in the Big Ten West at 2-1. He still managed to average 40.1 yards on 7 punts but had a season low 24-yarder in the 4th quarter. Brendan Franke had 2 touchbacks on 3 kickoffs, but the team gave up a 24-yard return setting up the Knights at the 37-yard line. But the Grant highlight of the night was the hit he delivered that left a Rutgers defender bloodied and unconscious on the sideline. In adding injury to insult, punter Brian Buschini was banged up on the play and it impacted his punting as a result. Thompson has thrown a touchdown pass in all six games this season and he is the first Husker to throw for a touchdown in each of the first six games since Tommy Armstrong Jr. The last Husker to have a receiving touchdown in three straight games was JD Spielman in the final three games of the 2019 season. Jaquez Yant added 4 carries for 22 yards (a 5.5-yd average) leaving one to wonder where he was on that 4th and 1 play. The Huskers were punchless in the first half, running just three plays in Rutgers territory and netting just 134 yards on seven drives that resulted in five punts and two interceptions. threw a touchdown pass in each of the first seven games in 2016. As a result, the Husker rushing game was nearly nonexistent as they ran for just 72 yards on 29 attempts (a 2.5 yd average). The Huskers had lost ten straight one possession games and now have earned back-to-back victories in the Big Ten for the first time since 2018.
