  "account": "Michigan State football faces Nebraska this week, with the Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule expecting a tough battle in East Lansing. Rhule praised the Spartans during his Monday press conference, noting their strong defensive and special teams play, with fewer penalties and a powerful offensive line. The Spartans are expected to run the ball and take away Nebraska's running game. Nebraska, with a perfect 3-0 record, is their toughest test yet after an easy run against lower-tier opponents. Both teams are expecting a hard-fought, old-school Big Ten game.",
