Michigan State Football: 3 reasons Spartans will beat Nebraska in Week 4
Michigan State football is off to a red-hot start this season, beginning 3-0 with a few blowout wins over Northwestern, Youngstown State, and Miami.
Now, the Spartans will face a 2-2 Nebraska team that lost to Illinois in the opener but has looked better ever since. The Cornhuskers have upset on the mind while No. 20 Michigan State is trying to build on this strong start to the season to improve to 4-0 and move up in the rankings.
This is the biggest game Spartan Stadium has seen in 3-4 years, at least, and the ‘Stripe the Stadium’ atmosphere is going to be rowdy.
Here’s why the Spartans will take down the Cornhuskers in Week 4.
3. Nebraska’s offensive line is shaky
It’s been tough to find weaknesses in Nebraska since the season-opening loss to Illinois, but the offensive line has been glaringly bad.
Luckily for Nebraska, Adrian Martinez is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country and has been able to escape some of the pressure, but that’s not always going to be the case.
Expect Michigan State to ramp up the pressure and the blitzes on Saturday night to really make Martinez uncomfortable and force him to make some mistakes. This line has been like a wet paper bag trying to stop a torrential downpour.
