I've literally gone back-n-forth on this game. Just don't know what to do. Is MSU's D for real? Is my hunch for the Huskers for real?

I've had MSU picked all week. However, I dropped them from 9 points to 5.

I am with Texas Jefe.

Michigan State has not faced a strong rushing team. Connor Cook is playing well, but how will he play if Nebraska blitzes him? Is Langford going to tear up the Nebraska D like Wyoming, UCLA, and South Dakota State did? I don't think Cook can pass that much.

Nebraska's offensive line is busted up. Tommy Armstrong is a red shirt freshman, how will he handle the Michigan State defense. Can Ameer Abdullah rush for another 100 when Michigan State is allowing less than 50 yards per game. Tommy can pass, but his passes go high.

I went with Nebraska because of the home field advantage and I had better see Nebraska blitz Cook. I fully expect to see Michigan State put nine in the box and blitz Tommy Armstrong all day long.

If Nebraska does not blitz Cook and plays the patty cake Papuchispelini defense of September, it is game over.

Too many "ifs" both ways.

Not really nervous for whatever reason.

Tommy gives zero fucks about wind.

But yeah it has been overcast and gusty since daybreak.

He struggled with the wind in the Illinois game. He tends to put a lot of air under the ball. Taylor threw short darts.

Hopefully once these clouds move out, the wind dies down.

isn't your O line completely banged up? Michigan State has statistically the best D in the country. I don't see how Nebraska wins this?

USAToday ranks it the #4 game of the week, writing: "Michigan State has won five in a row and hasn't surrendered a touchdown in the last three games. Meanwhile, Nebraska has won its last two. The winner takes the lead in the Big Ten Legends division."
