Nebraska-Rutgers Game Could Decide Huskers’ Season

Nebraska heads to Rutgers after four straight losses and a prolonged scoring slump, with Matt Rhule replacing offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen with Glenn Thomas, who will take over play-calling. The game is widely seen as a crucial chance for the Huskers to steady their season, though one account argues that a loss could intensify questions about Rhule’s future and prompt demands for changes in how he runs the program. Nebraska’s offense could benefit from a more physical approach, including greater use of tight ends and running formations, while Rutgers’ struggling defense offers an opportunity for a reset. Rutgers also faces uncertainty at quarterback, with its starter ruled out and its backup questionable, but Nebraska’s own recent form means the matchup is no sure thing.
