Week 4: Matt Rhule Speaks with Media, Scouting Michigan State
- On Saturday, Sept. 26, Nebraska travels to East Lansing to face Michigan State in a Big Ten opener that Coach Matt Rhule describes as an 'execution test' for his unbeaten squad.
- The Huskers enter conference play averaging 520.7 yards per game, led by transfer quarterback Anthony Colandrea and freshman running back Jamal Rule, who has posted 329 rushing yards through three contests.
- Following a 27-10 loss to No. 3 Notre Dame, Spartans head coach Pat Fitzgerald is focusing on consistency as he leads his team into its conference schedule in his first season at the helm.
- Assessing the Spartans, Rhule praised Fitzgerald's disciplined approach, noting they have half as many penalties as Nebraska and possess a powerful offensive line capable of anchoring a physical game plan.
- ESPN's matchup predictor gives Nebraska a 71.5% chance to win this 15th all-time meeting between the programs, though execution remains the deciding factor in the road contest.
