Nebraska vs. Michigan State: Need to know

Nebraska's defense has been elite: Nebraska enters this game allowing just 75.8 yards per game through the air, which ranks No. 1 in the FBS. The Cornhuskers have held their opponents to 105 yards passing or less in each of their first four games this season, which is the second-longest streak in FBS history. Miami's 2005 squad held opponents to under 105 yards passing in five consecutive games.

Matchup of star quarterbacks: This game will feature two of the best signal-callers in the conference: Nebraska's Dylan Raiola and Michigan State's Aidan Chiles. Raiola, the former five-star quarterback prospect from the 2024 recruiting cycle, has thrown for 11 touchdowns (with just one interception) during his team's first four games. Chiles, the former Oregon State transfer, has thrown for nine touchdowns with just one interception.

Big moment for Nebraska: The Cornhuskers have a prime opportunity to bounce back in a big way after the loss to Michigan. Furthermore, Nebraska has a favorable schedule for the remainder of the season, with only one game (No. 7 Penn State) remaining against a ranked opponent. This week's game against Michigan State and a matchup at home against USC will go a long way toward deciding how Year 3 of the Matt Rhule era will end.

Nebraska vs. Michigan State prediction, pick

Nebraska's secondary has been elite this season. If the Cornhuskers can get pressure on Chiles and jump out to a lead early, Nebraska should be able to control the flow of this game at home. Raiola is off to a hot start to his sophomore season. Look for Nebraska to come out and make a statement after a heartbreaking loss against Michigan last month. Pick: Nebraska -11.5
