Nebraska and Rutgers face off on Saturday as both Big Ten college football programs look to put together some of their best starts in recent seasons.

The Scarlet Knights (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) are hoping to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 2006 when they take on the Cornhuskers (4-1, 1-1), whose lone loss came against No. 25 Illinois. It took Nebraska all of 2023 to win five games.

Both teams are led by dynamic offensive players, as Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai will certainly be one of Nebraska's key players it tries to stop. Monangai has 97 carries for 589 yards with six touchdowns this season, averaging 6.1 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, Nebraska is led by former five-star recruit and true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, who has started his career completing 100 of 142 passes (70.4%) for 1,225 yards with nine touchdowns to two interceptions.

Chris Iseman, Asbury Park Press: Nebraska 21, Rutgers 17

Writes Iseman: "I think this will be another relatively low scoring, grind-it-out type of game. But I think the home-field advantage will help Nebraska and Dylan Raiola will make a big play late to lead the Cornhuskers past Rutgers in a close one."
