Carter scores 2 TDs, Armstrong throws 3, Huskers win 31-14

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- After being written off by many two weeks ago after losing to Purdue, Nebraska is suddenly a win away from a bowl bid. Tight end Cethan Carter rambled 32 yards for a touchdown on his first career carry and caught one of three touchdown passes by Tommy Armstrong as the Cornhuskers kept its bowl hopes alive with a 31-14 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. All Nebraska (5-6, 3-4 Big Ten) has to do after a bye week is knock off No. 8 Iowa at home on Nov. 27. "It feels good and I know the players feel good about that," Cornhuskers coach Mike Riley said. "This certainly sets up that game with Iowa and it's a big game for a lot of reasons, but for us, it's really obvious. It's a bowl opportunity, playing another top-ranked team.
