Michigan State football vs Nebraska picks: Who opens B1G play with win?
Five Free Press sports writers give their picks for Michigan State football Big Ten opener vs. Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Following a gap of 1,491 days without a Big Ten victory, Michigan State football coach Pat Fitzgerald faces his team in their inaugural game against Nebraska on September 26th. The Spartans will be hosting the Cornhuskers at a venue reminiscent of where Fitzgerald's previous team triumphed: Dublin, Ireland. Nebraska, led by coach Matt Rhule, secured a win in the first season opener against Scott Frost's Nebraska team last season.
The Five Free Press sports writers have their predictions for the outcome of the game. Carlos Monarrez believes the Spartans can secure a narrow victory, while Rainer Sabin predicts a 24-19 win for Nebraska. Jeff Seidel anticipates a close game, with MSU potentially emerging victorious due to their promising start under Fitzgerald.
Chris Solari suggests a 27-21 Spartan triumph, citing improved discipline and red-zone defense. Shawn Windsor anticipates MSU winning 23-20, noting that Fitzgerald's team has proven they belong on the field against a top-tier opponent.
