MSU Football Gears Up for Nebraska Showdown After USC Setback
Insights into Michigan State’s Recent Loss
Emegypt contributors Graham Couch and Chris Solari have delved into the Michigan State Spartans’ 45-31 setback at USC, examining the defensive challenges that led to their defeat. Following a tactical bye week, MSU aims to revitalize its defense in preparation for a critical Week 6 clash against Nebraska in Lincoln.

Despite ranking 99th nationally with an average of 1.3 sacks per game, there is optimism as Nebraska presents opportunities for strong defensive plays. Nebraska’s quarterback, Dylan Raiola, has a tendency to hold onto the ball, potentially allowing MSU’s defense to apply effective pressure.
