Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule anticipates a difficult Big Ten conference opener this Saturday against Michigan State in East Lansing. Rhule described the upcoming game as taking place in a "hostile environment" and expects the Spartans to present a significant challenge.
Rhule praised Michigan State's coaching, noting their emphasis on winning the turnover battle and their low penalty count compared to his own team. He also anticipates a strong running game from the Spartans, supported by a powerful offensive line, and expects excellent special teams and defense that aims to limit the opponent's run game.
