Report card from Nebraska's ugly 31-13 win over Michigan State

Nebraska advanced its unblemished record to four wins and zero losses following a 31-13 conference road triumph against Michigan State. Despite achieving their best start since 2016, the visiting squad experienced a messy contest featuring offensive stalls and special teams scares before setting up a future matchup against Maryland.

Quarterback Anthony Colandrea weathered intense pressure from the opposing defense, overcoming a fumble and some erratic passes to finish with over two hundred passing yards, a pair of passing scores, and sixty-six yards on the ground. Running back depth was tested when Jamal Rule departed early due to an injury after gaining only four yards on four carries.

Mekhi Nelson stepped forward to shoulder the workload with sixty-one yards across fifteen attempts and a score, while Isaiah Mozee contributed twenty-three yards on seven rushes. Vincent Genatone added two crucial touchdowns, securing a thirteen-yard reception in the second frame and sealing the victory with a one-yard plunge during the final quarter.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Kwazi Gilmer hauled in four catches, highlighted by three gains exceeding fifteen yards at crucial junctures.
