THE RED ZONE BLITZ

The non-conference slate is in the rearview mirror and Nebraska sits at 3-0. Something feels different, but now comes the first real test. B1G play begins in East Lansing against Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State. Can the Huskers weather the storm, play disciplined football and prove this team has truly turned a corner? The spark is there. Saturday night, we find out if it becomes a flame.

The Profizer shakes off the Michigan sting and looks ahead: it’s time to overwhelm the Spartans. Contain QB Aidan Chiles, let Raiola cook against one of the nation’s weakest pass defenses, and avoid a hangover loss. The battle plan is clear — keep the season on track and set up a YUGE October. Prediction: Huskers 38, MSU 17.
