Overview

• Nebraska beat Michigan State 38-27 in Lincoln, moving to 4-1 (1-1 Big Ten) as MSU fell to 3-2 (0-2).
• A blocked punt returned for a touchdown and a muffed kickoff recovery set up Nebraska points during a decisive 24-0 surge.
• Dylan Raiola keyed the swing with a 45-yard strike to Jacory Barney and a 59-yard touchdown to Nyziah Hunter.
• Aidan Chiles went 9-for-23 for 85 yards with two interceptions, took four sacks, briefly exited after a hit, and scored two rushing touchdowns.
• PFF logged MSU season-lows on offense (240 yards, 3.5 yards per play) with a sub-45 pass-blocking grade on 13 pressures and four sacks, as Jonathan Smith voiced “genuine frustration” and vowed fixes, including more touches for Nick Marsh and Omari Kelly before UCLA, where MSU opened as a 7.5-point favorite.
