The Nebraska Cornhuskers will host Michigan State in college football's Week 6 matchup at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Saturday.
Nebraska suffered its first loss in Week 4 against the Michigan Wolverines and has a 3-1 start to the campaign. Michigan State, too, is coming off its first loss and a bye week and has a 3-1 start.
Nebraska has one of the most potent passing offenses along with solid depth, but cornerback Malcolm Hartzog Jr. is doubtful for this game after having already lost OL Gibson Pyle for the season. The Spartans boast one of the best special teams units in the NCAA, but the team has been plagued by injuries.
In the all-time head-to-head series, the two teams have faced each other 13 times, with Nebraska holding a 9-4 advantage over Michigan State. However, all games have been tightly contested, with the last five meetings decided by a total of 15 points.
