It was another impressive victory for the Spartans who improved their overall season-record to 8-0. The Spartans have won their first eight games by an average of 11.2 points.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:NCAA240banner ]Leading the way for the Spartans in this game was Connor Cook. He completed 30 of 52 passes for a career-high 398 yards and four touchdowns. He threw all four of those touchdown passes on third down and he fell just short of the school record of 400 passing yards, set by Bill Burke against Michigan back in 1999. Thanks to Cook\u2019s exploits, the Spartans recorded their first double-digit victory in Big Ten play this season.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the dazzling display of Cook, credit must also be given to the Spartans\u2019 defense for their victory on Saturday. Michigan State buckled down to work in the fourth quarter, holding Indiana scoreless in the final 15 minutes. They will need more of the same defensive intensity for them to preserve their unbeaten record against Nebraska.\u00a0The Spartans are allowing just 22.1 points per game this season, 36<sup>th<\/sup> in the FBS. They will have their work cut out for them, however, against a Nebraska offense that is averaging 33.3 points per contest this campaign, good for 44<sup>th<\/sup> in the entire FBS.<\/p>\n<p>Even if that is the case, they will still fancy their chances against the Cornhuskers as they have fared extremely well against them of late. The Spartans are 2-0 in their last two meetings with the Cornhuskers. Michigan State defeated Nebraska, 27-22, in their lone showdown last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Spartans are 8-0 SU and 5-3 ATS in their last eight road games.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and put your NCAA college football predictions to the test!<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-6, 1-4 Big Ten)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/563501e3614fa.image_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81324\" alt=\"Ryker Fyfe\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/563501e3614fa.image_.jpg\" width=\"1100\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/563501e3614fa.image_.jpg 1100w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/563501e3614fa.image_-250x162.jpg 250w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/563501e3614fa.image_-600x389.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nebraska\u2019s losing woes show no sign of abating as the Cornhuskers crashed to their second consecutive defeat with a gut-wrenching 55-45 loss to Purdue on Saturday. The Cornhuskers had difficulty stopping Purdue quarterback David Blough who threw for 274 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for another score.<\/p>\n<p>It was a disappointing result for Nebraska who has now lost four of its last five games. The main reason behind the Cornhuskers\u2019 meek performance was their unforgivable sloppy play. Nebraska turned the ball over five times against Purdue on Saturday. They will look to get their season back on track when they take on the streaking Michigan State Spartans this coming Saturday. For the Cornhuskers to record a massive upset in this game, they will need to do a much better job of protecting the football.<\/p>\n<p>The onus is on quarterback Ryker Fyfe to be more efficient with his play against the Spartans. Starting in place of the injured Tommy Armstrong, Fyfe was intercepted four times by the Boilermakers. That kind of passing performance simply won\u2019t do against a Michigan State defense that has already racked up seven picks this season.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also crucial for the Cornhuskers that they step up their play on the defensive end, particularly on third-down opportunities. Nebraska had a hard time getting off the field on defense in its last game against Purdue, allowing the Cornhuskers to convert eight of their 17 third-down chances. That will be a major concern against the Spartans who went 13-of-20 in their third-down offense on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Cornhuskers are 6-4 SU and 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Michigan State coasts to a 38-14 win.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"81308\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,891&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Michigan State Spartans preserved their unbeaten record this season with an impressive 26-point victory over Indiana on Saturday.
