Nebraska football gets Game No. 5 underway in roughly 24 hours against Michigan State.

The Huskers’ second Big Ten game comes on the heels of a 3-1 start and is their first test since suffering a 30-27 loss to then-No. 21 Michigan two weeks ago. The Spartans, likewise, enter Saturday with a 3-1 record after falling on the road at then-No. 25 USC in Week 4 of the college football season.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Central Time on Tom Osborne Field.
