It’s also the third time the Cornhuskers have started 3-0 under Rhule, though they haven’t won a conference opener since 2019 and fell short of 4-0 in each of the past two seasons. This year feels different. Nebraska’s offense is rolling, and its defense has allowed just 35 points through three games.
Michigan State held Notre Dame to 27 points last week, but even at home, the Spartans could struggle to keep up with the Cornhuskers. Take Nebraska to cover and start 4-0 for the first time since 2016. How to Watch Michigan State vs.
