Michigan State defense confident preparing for next challenge at Nebraska

EAST LANSING - Michigan State has already faced the top three scoring offenses in the Big Ten.

The Spartans are 1-2 in those matchups with a win against Penn State and losses to Ohio State and Michigan. The common theme in all three games was Michigan State's defense holding the opposition below their usual production.

Next up on the list for Michigan State (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) is Nebraska (3-7, 2-5), which has the Big Ten's fourth-best scoring offense at 32.3 points per game. The Cornhuskers have won three of their last four since an 0-6 start, but the Spartans will bring one of the nation's top defenses into Saturday's game at Nebraska.
