KEY STATISTIC: Nebraska receivers JD Spielman and Stanley Morgan Jr. are one of just two pass-catching duos, and the only Power Five duo in the nation, to each have more than 800 receiving yards in 2018. Old Dominion is the only other school with two 800-yard receivers.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: In what could be a low-scoring, tight game, it’s worth noting that Michigan State sophomore kicker Matt Coghlin is 14-of-16 on field goals this season and is a semifinalist for the Groza Award. … Junior defensive end Kenny Willekes leads the Big Ten with 17 tackles for loss, for 79 yards. He had a career-high 3.5 tackles for loss (8 yards) and one sack (3 yards) against Ohio State. … Nebraska running back Devine Ozigbo, playing in his final game at Memorial Stadium, needs 42 rushing yards to reach 1,000 for the season. He’d be the Huskers’ first 1,000-yard rusher since Ameer Abdullah in 2014. … Huskers linebacker Mohamed Barry is second in the Big Ten in tackles per game (9.3) with 93 total, ranking third in assists (46), and is tied for fifth in solo stops (47).
