Michigan State football returns to action this week in a very “important” game for the program at Nebraska.
The Spartans were on a bye last week and will look to rebound from their first defeat in a tough road game at Nebraska. Michigan State enters this matchup with a 3-1 overall record and 0-1 mark in Big Ten play, and is listed as a double-digit underdog in this game.
With this being such a big matchup for the Spartans, Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal and Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press are here to provide their initial thoughts on the game. Couch and Solari put together a roughly 10-minute video breaking down a number of key topics related to this week’s game against the Cornhuskers.
Here are some of the topics Couch and Solari discussed in their video:
- Injury update from head coach Jonathan Smith’s press conference
- Takeaways from USC defeat that could impact this week’s matchup at Nebraska
- Odds of Michigan State knocking off Nebraska despite being listed as a sizable underdog
Kickoff from Lincoln, Neb. is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET on Saturday. This matchup between Michigan State and Nebraska will be televised on FS1.
