Matt Rhule is playing back home for the first time in nearly a decade.
The Penn State alum did not take the open coaching job, instead signing a two-year extension with Nebraska. The Huskers and Nittany Lions are having two very different seasons, but both with something to play for. An NU win guarantees the Big Red a better record than last year and would eliminate PSU from postseason play.
The game is televised on NBC.
