Nebraska vs. Rutgers: Series History

***Statistics and information courtesy of Nebraska Athletics Communications***

>> Nebraska and Rutgers will meet for the seventh time overall and sixth time as Big Ten Conference opponents. The Huskers have won each of the series' six games, including victories at Memorial Stadium in 2014 and 2017.

>> The last meeting was in a Friday night game at Rutgers in the 2022 season, with the Huskers winning 14-13.

>> Saturday's game will be the first matchup in Lincoln since the 2017 season, when Nebraska posted a 27-17 victory over the Scarlet Knights.

>> Before the 2014 match in Lincoln, the schools had not met since a 28-0 Nebraska victory in 1920 at the famed New York Polo Grounds.

Nebraska is in control

>> Nebraska controlled its first three games from start to finish. The Huskers didn't trail in their first three games, outscoring opponents by a combined 102-20. While Illinois prevailed with an overtime score, Nebraska trailed by less than 12 minutes in regulation against the Illini, followed by just four minutes at Purdue.

>> Nebraska won each of its first three games by at least 18 points. It was the first time since midway through the 2014 season that NU won three straight games by at least 18 points, as the Huskers defeated Northwestern (21), Rutgers (18) and Purdue (21). The Huskers picked up their fourth win by at least 18 points with their 28-10 win at Purdue.

>> Nebraska scored on its first drive in each of the first three games. These scoring drives included 72, 49 and 75 yards.

>> In five games, Nebraska has outscored opponents 58-3 in the second quarter. In 2023, Nebraska was outscored 81-66 in the second quarter. The Blackshirts held Purdue scoreless in the first half, marking the second opponent NU eliminated in the first half (Colorado).

>> The opponents had very little success at the start of the games. Since 2023, Nebraska has allowed just two first-quarter touchdowns in its last 12 games. Only two opponents have scored a touchdown on their first drive in the last 18 games.

Gain the sales margin

>> Nebraska's defense has recorded multiple takeaways three times in 2024 (UTEP, Colorado, Illinois) and single takeaways against UNI and Purdue. The Huskers have a lead in all five games, Nebraska's longest streak since six games in the 2022 (last two games) and 2023 (first four games) seasons. Conversely, the offense has only committed three turnovers in five games, giving Nebraska a +5 turnover margin. Last year, NU posted a sales margin of -17. With a turnover margin of +1.0 per game, Nebraska is currently ranked 18th nationally.

>> The multiple takeaways in consecutive games (UTEP, Colorado) marked the first time the Husker defense accomplished this since 2020, when Nebraska had multiple takeaways against Northwestern and Penn State.

>> The first two games marked the first time since the final two games of the 2022 season that Nebraska posted a positive turnover margin in consecutive games, when the Huskers had a +1 (Wisconsin) and +3 (Iowa) turnover margin in consecutive games . The Huskers have posted positive turnover margins in consecutive games against Illinois and Purdue.

>> The Huskers have outscored their opponents 31-0 on turnovers this season John Bullocks Interception return for a touchdown at Purdue.

Experienced WRs make a quick impact

>> Nebraska added two experienced receivers through the transfer portal in the offseason. Jahmal Banks joined the Huskers from Wake Forest while Isaiah Neyor came to Nebraska after previously playing at Texas and Wyoming. The two seniors each weigh 6-4 and 220 pounds and have shown an immediate connection to the quarterback Dylan Raiola.

>> The duo combined for 37 receptions for 543 yards and six touchdowns. Neyor has 17 catches for 291 yards and four touchdowns, while Banks has 20 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns.

>> Neyor recorded his fourth career 100-yard receiving game and first since 2021 with six receptions for 121 yards and a 59-yard touchdown against UTEP. Neyor's six catches matched his career best and his 121 yards were just five yards shy of his career best. He added four catches for 31 yards against Colorado, had a touchdown catch against UNI and two touchdowns against Illinois. Neyor leads Nebraska in receiving yards and touchdowns.

>> Banks also made an impact in the opening game with four catches for 61 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown catch just two seconds before halftime. He had two catches against Colorado and one against UNI. He reached a career high with eight catches for 94 yards against Illinois, then led Nebraska with five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown at Purdue.

>> Both players had productive college careers before joining the Huskers. Banks now has 127 career catches for 1,656 yards and 15 career touchdowns. Neyor has 70 catches for 1,431 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career. Neyor averages an impressive 20.4 yards per catch for his career.
