Per Rivals' Adam Gorney, 2025 USC four-star wide receiver commit Corey Simms is no longer planning to visit Nebraska this weekend. Was expected to be the lone 2025 target in attendance besides prospects already committed to the Huskers.

Nebraska offered 2026 Chicago (Ill.) Wendell Phillips offensive tackle Claude Mpouma, who stands 6-foot-7, 300lbs. The junior has played just five football games in his life to date, but since picking up the sport this season, he's already landed offers from the likes of Miami and Michigan State, with SEC programs like Alabama monitoring

Mpouma plans to visit Nebraska this weekend, Huskers getting out ahead of the visit and letting him know he's got a scholarship from the Huskers

Picked as the worst division in the Preseason. Has 3 out of 4 teams left in the AL playoffs . The team picked to win the Division the Twins didn’t even get in . So much for the experts.

This guy knows how to recruit, and party.

Rutgers at Nebraska Prediction, Game Preview
by Pete Fiutak, CollegeFootballNews.com

Nebraska was an overtime loss against Illinois away from being 5-0, and after the layup against Purdue, it's time to pull off a really big win......or else.

You'll have to forgive Husker fans for being a tad concerned -- they've been hurt before. After this is a trip to Indiana and a date at Ohio State. That, and with dates against USC and Iowa on the road looming, and in need of two more wins to go bowling .......

They'll be fine. UCLA and Wisconsin are more than winnable home games, but beating the Scarlet Knights would allow everyone to exhale.

With wins over Virginia Tech and Washington, Rutgers is doing what it's supposed to under Greg Schiano and be on the right side of close games.

Three of the next four games are at home, so win this, and with Wisconsin and UCLA to follow, there's a shot at starting 7-0 before going to USC.

Rutgers (4-0, 1-0) at Nebraska (4-1, 1-1)
Saturday, October 5 - 3:00 PM (ET) - FS1

Why Rutgers Will Win
Embrace the grind.

Rutgers might not be pretty, and it doesn't do anything easy, but it continues to do just about everything right.

It's among the best teams in the nation in fewest penalties, the running game continues to pound away, and the offense has turned it over just twice so far. All of that, and the Scarlet Knights are No. 1 in the Big Ten and eighth in the nation in time of possession.

Nebraska's defense might not be statistically strong against the run, but it hasn't faced anyone who pounds away. However ........

Why Nebraska Will Win
.....the Huskers have to get that push rush rolling to stop Rutgers on third downs.

The defense is great at getting into the backfield with a pass rush that should stall the pedestrian Scarlet Knight passing attack. Dylan Raiola and the midrange Husker passing attack have to take over.

Nebraska is used to controlling the clock and tempo. It might be able to take Rutgers' big advantage off the table.

Who Will Win
Rutgers is about to pound and pound and pound.

Nebraska lost the one game against a team that could sort of run -- the Husker run D gave up a season-high 166 yards in the loss to Illinois -- and Rutgers is averaging 5.4 yards per carry.

The game will always seem within Nebraska's reach, and it won't be able to get there in a maddening loss.

Prediction
Rutgers 23, Nebraska 20

Spread
Nebraska is favored at home by 7 points. The O/U is set at 41.5 points

4th quarter. Wind is into around 15mph from the south (checked Saturday's weather forecast). We are down 23-21. There is :58 on the clock. Rutgers has 2 timeouts left. We only have one. We have the ball on the left hash, 4th and long 3 from the Rutgers 19. Hohl is the kicker and has not had a FG attempt during the game. He is 3-3 on PATs but two were pushed a tad right, one was pulled a tad left . All snaps and placements have been good.



Whatta ya do?

Updates and thoughts on a couple of Nebraska's injuries to high-impact players, the Huskers' field-goal ops and Dylan Raiola facing an NFL-inspired Rutgers defense:

We hired a resto company to assist with our bar b Que'd house and I have a ? for anyone who has done the same...hopefully you've never been thru it, but if you have, care to attach your name to this thread so I can pick your brain on something?

Should get on some all conference lists. Kid was a walkon a little over a year ago and next year he might be on an NFL roster.

2024 OL is average at best, they really struggle in run blocking and getting a push. But looking toward next year, there is not a lot of guys I would trust to step in. Not a lot of vets returning, and if they are they are injury prone. The younger guys who have got playing time are not doing much. The staff will need to hit the portal hard this offseason.

Was there an episode after the Illinois loss? I'm hoping to catch that one before watching a new one tonight, but can't find it on YouTube.

Per Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman, 2026 Buford (Ga.) four-star DT Bryce Perry-Wright is visiting Nebraska this weekend

No. 37 prospect and No. 3 DT in the country
