This senior class probably plays four or five games in their college career that is as big as the one today. It's a special day for them. Tonight NU football goes to East Lansing, Michigan to play a very good Michigan St. team. Michigan St. is a Top 10 team right now. They pretty much outplayed Oregon for three quarters. Can NU respond?
I think this is going to be a great game. This is the tipping point as such. Will NU go to one of the elite teams again in college football with a win away from Lincoln? A victory that could put them in the top eight or ten teams in the nation.
Nebraska will have to play its best game of the year which means:
1. Don't shoot yourself in the foot with tounovers. Nebraska will need to be +2 in tournovers.
2. Special teams continues to play well.
3. The offensive line controls their defensive line.
4. The wet grass field is not a factor for NU's footwork
Michigan State's Connor Cook is a good one. Hopefully our front seven can keep him off balance the whole. day. He's hitting almost 70% on passes compared to Tommy Armstrong's 54%. Cook has two interceptions to Armstrong's three. Armstron has more yards and touchdowns.
Michigan St. is averaging 50 points a game. Nebraska is averaging 45 points per game. Michigan St. is giving up 20 points a game and Nebraska allows 19 points. Michigan St allowed 46 points to Oregon.
Home field advantage is Michigan St. although NU doesn't play bad away from home.
Heros today will be the No. 4's which is Armstrong and Gregory. Armstrong has to be strong today. Has to be. Look to the tight ends to catch a TD today. Probably Cethan Carter. Ameer will be good as always.
PREDICTION:
Nebraska 30
Michigan St. 27
