Michigan State returns home to East Lansing from south Florida with a perfect 3-0 record, and a little bit of swagger to go with it. This week brings Nebraska to the banks of the (possibly overflowing) Red Cedar for the first home Big Ten conference game of the year for the Spartans, and second Big Ten tilt of the season overall. The Cornhuskers have had an up-and-down start to their year, but remain a thorn in the side of the Spartans since joining the Big Ten. Let’s take a look at the Huskers.
School: University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Nickname: Cornhuskers
Conference: Big Ten (West Division)
Location: Lincoln, Nebraska
Head Coach: Scott Frost (fourth season, 14-22)
Record: 2-2
Mascot: Herbie Husker and Lil’ Red
All-Time Series: Nebraska leads 9-2 (won last two meetings)
Nebraska’s season started with a road loss in conference play to Illinois before the Cornhuskers came home and took care of Fordham (FCS) and Buffalo.
