WATCH: Dana Holgorsen, John Butler + Dylan Raiola look back at Michigan loss, preview Michigan State
Michigan State Week is here. Nebraska football will take on its Big Ten opponent in just four days.
Year 3 of the Matt Rhule Era – the most pivotal of his tenure thus far as the Huskers’ head coach – began with a crucial season-opening win, 20-17, over Big 12 opponent Cincinnati in Week 1, and then it continued on Saturday night in a dominant 68-0 blowout of MAC foe Akron in Week 2. In Week 3, the Huskers once again trounced an overmatched and overwhelmed opponent, winning 59-7 over FCS foe Houston Christian on Saturday.

In Week 4, though, the Huskers disappointed in a 30-27 loss to Top-25 opponent Michigan. They couldn’t get the job done in their Big Ten opener, spoiling a hot start in which they began the year 3-0 for the second straight season – the first time Nebraska had accomplished back-to-back marks of at least 3-0 since the 2010 and 2011 seasons when the Huskers started 5-0 and 4-0, respectively.
On Saturday, following its first of two bye weeks this year, Nebraska will get a chance to get back on track against the Spartans (3-1, 0-1). Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Central Time at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
