Lincoln, Neb. — Michigan State’s offense hasn’t had any rhythm much of the season, and on Saturday at Nebraska, it was again the main reason the Spartans walked away with a loss.
Despite yet another solid defensive performance, Michigan State could not find the end zone as Nebraska kicked three fourth-quarter field goals to earn a 9-6 victory in front of 88,793 at Memorial Stadium.
Barret Pickering kicked field goals of 36, 20 and 47 yards, the last coming with just more than five minutes to play. Nebraska (4-7, 3-5 Big Ten) managed just 248 total yards but took advantage of a late turnover to tie the game before getting the winner on the next series.
