The Nebraska Cornhuskers will square off against Michigan State in a high-octane Big Ten fixture on October 4 in Lincoln.
Both teams have won three games and lost one. While Nebraska suffered a last-second defeat to Michigan, Michigan State went down to the USC Trojans in their recent fixture. Both teams are nursing wounds, but are high on ambition and will aim to cause an upset to the opposition. Quarterback Dylan Raiola, who has been impressive in this campaign and ranks fourth nationally in completion percentage, will aim to pair up with wide receivers Dane Key and Nyziah Hunter.
Michigan State will look up to quarterback Aidan Chiles, but their past defense, which is the worst in the Big Ten, will remain a cause of worry.
