The Nebraska Cornhuskers are still on the outside looking in when it comes to the top 25. The Huskers received votes in the latest edition of the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Nebraska improved to 4-0 on the season, defeating the Michigan State Spartans 31-13. This is Nebraska's first 4-0 start since 2016. The Huskers also won their Big Ten opener for the first time since a 42-38 win at Illinois in 2019.
As a team, the Huskers had 369 yards of total offense. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea accounted for 278 yards of total offense. He led the team in the air with 212 passing yards and on the ground with 66 rushing yards.
Nebraska scored two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns in the win. The Huskers have had at least one rushing and one passing touchdown in each
of their first four games. The last time Nebraska accomplished that feat was in 1999.
The Blackshirts surrendered only 257 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers. Linebacker Owen Chambliss had an interception and a season-high eight tackles. Defensive end Williams Nwaneri had a career-high 2.0 sacks and a blocked field goal.
