Odd. This is what espn has on their page.

Some have Nebraska (-6.5) and others @ (+6.5)

 

[jedburks]

Yeah, I saw that it opened at +3.5 and then quickly jumped to +6.5

Something is telling me we win this, like the match up. Will be a low defensive game, which I prefer to watch.

-------
Rookie QB or not, we'd better get a bit more creative offensively than what we did with Michigan. Far too many two yards and a cloud of dust straight up the middle. Won't work with MSU. Remiinded me of the old Solich days.

I don't think it matters if our offense is healthy or banged up. I don't see us scoring very many points either way. I don't think MSU will score more than 17, so as long as Nebraska can somehow put up 17 we should be in good shape.

-------
I completely agree it's going to be a low scoring game. Yet, over the last 3 games were are only averaging 22 pts. per game--that's the good news (higher than 17). The bad news is that MSU has only given up on average 12 pts per game all season all season. if defense wins games (despite our home field), that doesn't bode well for us.

The most anybody's put on MSU is 28 by Indiana on 10/12/2013.

Unfortunately Mich St put 42 on them.

Indiana

Total Offense................ 8th
Rushing Offense........... 33rd
Passing Offense........... 12th
Team Passing Efficiency 24th
Scoring Offense............ 9th

Nebraska

Total Offense...............42nd
Rushing Offense...........14th
Passing Offense............93rd
Team Passing Efficiency 58th
Scoring Offense............29th

The team that takes care of the ball and is more physical will win this game......plain and simple.

I don't like Nebraska's chances due to the fact that we are beat up in the worst place to be beat up.....right up front. Add in the fact that Michigan State is extremely good up front on Defense and things just don't look good.

If Michigan State is able to move the ball at all Offensively, we are going to struggle to stay within 10 points.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

If I had to guess a score right now I'd say something like Michigan State - 24, Nebraska - 12.

I really think they are hitting on all cylinders right now and Nebraska just plain and simply is still too goofy. Also, how will a Redshirt Freshman QB respond to the kind of pressure he's going to be under against this Defense.

 

[HuskerPower52]

We have to run on Mich St and wear down the defense. Cross on 1st &2nd Ameer on 3rd and 4th.

Don't forget how shitty Nebraska's special teams are too.

Field position will be a big factor in a slobber-knocker.

Foltz had an awful game at Michigan.

The True Freshman in him was really showing through that day

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I just honestly think that Michigan State believes they are a good team whereas our team right now is still having trouble finding itself.

They don't play goofy football. They just line 'em up and knock 'em down. And they do really well at it too.
