Nebraska’s early-season production is the focus of Fox Sports’ preview of its Week 4 matchup with Michigan State, scheduled for Saturday in East Lansing and set to air on BTN.

The Cornhuskers are averaging 520.7 yards and 46.3 points per game through three games, according to Fox Sports. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea has thrown for 692 yards and eight touchdowns, while running back Jamal Rule has recorded 329 rushing yards.

Michigan State is averaging 345.3 yards per game and is coming off a game in which it finished with fewer than 200 total yards, the preview says.

Nebraska has scored at least 30 points in each of its first three games under coach Matt Rhule and allowed 35 points in total. Fox Sports notes the Cornhuskers have not won a conference opener since 2019.

The outlet’s pick is for Nebraska to cover the spread. The supplied preview does not provide confirmed odds or a kickoff time.
