Michigan State faces tough schedule against Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Illinois

Michigan State University's football schedule features three key upcoming games against Nebraska on September 26, Wisconsin on October 3, and Illinois on October 10. The Spartans previously lost to Nebraska last year and are looking to improve. Wisconsin's struggles have led to a coaching change, while Illinois defeated MSU decisively in 2024. Both Nebraska and Wisconsin have inexperienced rosters that could impact their performance against the Spartans, setting up a highly competitive stretch for MSU.
