Nebraska @ Michigan State Game Thread (9/26/26)

[Californication]

Completely unrelated to tonight’s game, but Raiola pretty decent when he has an o-line and 5* talent

I hope nothing but the best for him except against us

I haven't celebrated that hard for a non-Husker W in a long, long time. That was glorious.

 

[PaSker]

That was a damn good INT for a LB

 

[CornfieldCounty]

Our D line showed some weaknesses, most notably when MSU was running tempo and we couldn't sub out. Credit to Fitz for exploiting that. But hopefully, now that we've seen a B1G team on the field, we can get some stuff straightened out.

The fact that we beat them in their house, worse than ND did in South Bend, is something we can hang our hat on. And build from there.

Next week against the Terps can now be an unexpected "get right" game (provided the coaches keep their heads on right). Just what we need going into the following week. Not that I'm looking ahead or anything...

The biggest result of this was the 4 man rush not getting more pressure, but the run D was still outstanding..

32 attempts, for 39 yards.. 1.2 ypr?

Correct

Even better Notre Dame only held them to 44 yards rushing

Ha ha

This is a sign too where this team is at

Genatone is the essence of what has made Nebraska football special

The sack yards significantly contributed to that.

No doubt

The sack yards significantly contributed to that.

From looking at the box score the two QBs combine lost 39 yards

So even if that were all sack yards it still would have been 32 carries for 73 yards or just over two yards a csrry.

Either way the run defense was outstanding

Not all Husker fans hated that game. I loved us stomping the Spartans.

 

[Red Reign]

Bump

I saw what I wanted to see. I wanted to see the Huskers stressed, to see them face some adversity, to see how they reacted when players went down, to see how they'd respond when things got dicey.

GBR, they checked every box for me, and then some.
