Notes

Pre Game

This was a real nail biter in the fourth quarter when Nebraska took the lead 20-13 with only 7:22 left. MSU's next possession ends in a punt and all Nebraska needed to do was get a first down and keep the clock rolling, but the were unable to hold MSU's defense and had to punt. The punt was returned by Jaydeen Reed for a touchdown to tie the game. In Overtime, Nebraska has the first possession and throws an interception. MSU makes it to the 1 yard line but is unable to score a touchdown and easily kicks a field goal to win the game.
