Michigan State had themselves a must-win game today after dropping their conference opener earlier in the week. The season that began with national championship aspirations has already seen MSU fall out of the rankings. A stat shown on TV during the broadcast said the 4-4 start is among the worst starts for a preseason top-5 team this century. Izzo seems to be guessing at how to fix it, with none of the lineups being the solution. Historically, a game against Nebraska would be a great way for MSU to start to right the ship.
Tonight, Izzo went with the starting lineup that began the season - Hoggard, Walker, Akins, Hall, and Sissoko.
