WATCH: Rutgers takes the lead over Nebraska on a pick-six
Published:
It didn’t take long for Rutgers to regain the lead over Nebraska after the half.
Just 53 seconds into the third quarter, Kiy Hester intercepted a pass thrown by Huskers quarterback Tanner Lee, returned it all the way to the end zone and put the Scarlet Knights back on top in Lincoln.
This was the second interception of the game for the Knights.

Lee has had his struggles over the last three weeks, throwing nine interceptions, three of which have been returned for touchdowns.
It was a costly mistake in this game, especially considering the tight score.
Both teams are 1-2 and are trying to open the B1G season with a win and improve to .500 on the year.
