Nebraska secured a 31-13 victory over Michigan State on September 26 at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans' performance was hindered by injuries, losing key players such as running back Cam Edwards and left guard Conner Moore early in the game. Michigan State struggled offensively, finishing with 257 total yards and committing three turnovers. The defense faced similar challenges, missing two starting cornerbacks before kickoff and failing to register a sack for the first time this season. Michigan State's kicker Liam Boyd made field goals of 48 and 46 yards but had a 52-yarder blocked, which contributed to Nebraska's scoring opportunity in the fourth quarter.
