Nebraska has won 16 straight home night games, we have that going for us.


I think the players should be informed of this by some former players who say, "don't let us down, and don't let that streak be broken"!

I live in the woods, I blow them off the roof, away from the house and bushes and then mow them. It's still a pain in the ass but it's a lot easier then blowing them and picking them up and burning them

Michigan State's defense has been improving steadily, each and every week. Obviously, the transition from losing Pat Narduzzi took some time.

Connor Cook is deadly efficient in the pass game. Connor Cook has rushed for exactly 100 yards this season, with his longest being a 60 yard gain. If Connor Cook does what Blough from Purdue did, that tells me enough about the Nebraska defensive coaches, they do not know how to fix the problems.

Michigan State is susceptible to the pass and tough against the run. Since Nebraska likes to pass, but Michigan State has Shalique Calhoun, be interesting to see how this works. I expect Michigan State to BLITZ.

I don't give Nebraska a snowball's chance in hell in this game. I think they're out of it (double digits) by halftime.

Sparty's got a better system, coaching, fundamentals, and discipline across the board.

However, there's a reason they put erasers on pencils, and like JJM pointed out, the 5 point spread stinks so BAD it's as good as a lock that Sparty will cover going away.

For the Huskers to win, Sparty is going to have to play their worst game of the season and Nebraska is going to have to play errorless.

Considering the temperatures, I expect a half empty stadium early in the 4th quarter.

Drink the Kool-Aid girls. Hoping for an unrealistic fairy tale only leads to disappointment.

There is VERY good reason Sparty is 8-0 Top 10 and Nebraska is 3-6 and a nobody.

Thinking Nebraska can magically hang in this game is Easter Bunny stuff.

I agree. The only faint glimmer of hope is that line. TA has to be at full strength to have a shot, and I don't think he is.

Well there's home field as well, and maybe Sparty taking the Huskers for granted, but those are the only things I can come up with.

Being cold isn't going to effect Sparty any more than the Huskers.
There is no intimidation factor from Nebraska anymore.

Nebraska can only win in some perfect bizzare scenario of playing the perfect game and Sparty playing their absolute worst.

It's just not time for the Huskers to beat a team like this toe-to-toe. Maybe next year to see Nebraska compete at this level.

It's also a night game providing some extra juice to the situation.

Bottom line is, Michigan State has struggled against some shitty teams this year.
