Nebraska Beats Michigan State 38-27 Amid Offensive Struggles

Nebraska defeated Michigan State 38-27, capitalizing on a strong fourth quarter where they scored 17 points, including touchdowns by Emmett Johnson and Nyziah Hunter, who notably ran a 59-yard screen pass to the end zone despite losing a shoe. Michigan State struggled with turnovers, poor play-calling, and questionable coaching decisions, including playing an injured quarterback, Aidan Chiles, who threw two interceptions and was sacked four times. Meanwhile, Michigan improved to 4-1 after a 24-10 victory over Wisconsin, with freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood delivering a clean game and igniting optimism for the Wolverines' offense. Wisconsin showed signs of progress despite the loss, with quarterback Hunter Simmons and a reworked offensive line performing better, though they suffered from poor tackling and special teams errors. Michigan's win featured a controversial replay review that overturned an incomplete pass, leading to a crucial touchdown. Looking ahead, Michigan's improved passing attack and strong running game present a significant challenge for USC in their upcoming matchup.
