Preview
After winning consecutive games against Purdue and Maryland, holding each to a combined 16 points, Michigan State fell out of the Top 25 last week with a 26-6 loss to Ohio State. The Spartans played the Buckeyes tough for three quarters, entering the fourth down just 9-6; Ohio State scored 17 unanswered points in the final frame, pulling away to a 26-6 victory.\
Junior quarterback Brian Lewerke’s grip on the starting job losses game by game. Over the past three games, Lewerke has failed to break 128 yards (against Ohio State). He has thrown for no touchdowns and two interceptions, dropping two of the three. In the game Lewerke missed against Purdue, Michigan State won 23-13.
Frost’s first season in Nebraska hasn’t exactly gone to plan. The program he left behind, UCF, remains unbeaten dating back to last season and is higher in the College Football Playoff ranking than they were at this point last season.
The Cornhuskers have improved as the season has gone on, though. After starting 0-6, Nebraska has won three of its past four games, only dropping a game to Ohio State in Columbus, a five-point defeat that pushed Ohio State to the brink closer than Michigan State was able to.
Matchup to Watch: Nebraska senior running back Devine Ozigbo has eclipsed 100 rushing yards in six of the past eight games. The Spartans boast one of the nation’s best rush defenses. The Cornhuskers offense will need to run through Ozigbo in this Big Ten matchup.
