Cornhuskers and Spartans Clash in Tight College Football Matchup
4 Oct
Summary
- Nebraska and Michigan State both suffered first losses in Week 4
- Nebraska has a potent passing offense, but lost key players to injury
- Michigan State boasts strong special teams but has been plagued by injuries
On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will host the Michigan State Spartans in a crucial college football matchup. Both teams are coming off their first losses of the season, with Nebraska falling to the Michigan Wolverines in Week 4 and Michigan State suffering a defeat before their bye week.
The Cornhuskers have one of the most potent passing offenses in the country, but they will be without cornerback Malcolm Hartzog Jr., who is doubtful for the game, and have already lost offensive lineman Gibson Pyle for the season. Meanwhile, the Spartans boast one of the best special teams units in the NCAA, but the team has been hampered by injuries.
In the all-time head-to-head series, Nebraska holds a 9-4 advantage over Michigan State, but the games have been tightly contested, with the last five meetings decided by a total of just 15 points. This matchup promises to be another close and hard-fought battle between the two programs.
