Game day is finally here. It seems like every year the bye week takes longer and longer to pass, but Michigan State football is heading into its most crucial stretch of games in the Mark Dantonio era — easily.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are next on the schedule and the Spartans are looking to take down the Cornhuskers for the third straight season and improve to 9-0, hopefully moving up in the College Football Playoff rankings from No. 7.
Saturday night’s Michigan State vs Nebraska game isn’t necessarily touted as one of the must-see matchups of the week, but both teams are definitely looking at this one as a much bigger deal than the rest of the country is giving it credit for.
