Nebraska is getting some breaks right now. They can't keep giving things away to Michigan State this game now

In 8 games against ST Coordinator LeVar Woods at Iowa, Nebraska went 1-7. The team with the better average starting field position won every game in that span.
Now that he's at Michigan State, will he continue to haunt the Huskers?

Both Nebraska and Michigan State are starting conference play in this game. Can the Spartans bounce back after a loss to Notre Dame? The Huskers have a strong offense, but Pat Fitzgerald and LeVar Woods have known how to beat the Huskers

In the Huskers' Big Ten opener, I'm watching one number that has been perfectly correlated with who won Nebraska's last 8 Black Friday matchups with Iowa and how it could change the outcome in this game

Michigan State special teams coordinator LeVar Woods has long haunted the Huskers. Could he do it again for the Spartans?

Through September 21, there have been no hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time since 1914.
Nebraska football has won at least a share of a conference championship every season that no hurricanes formed in the Atlantic

Nebraska has played a weak schedule, but there's also a lot of worse places to be on this graph than where they are currently
Net EPA/play vs. Net Sucess rate after 3 weeks. Lots of teams in the good quadrant knowing how scheduling is early season. That should level out as the season goes.

It's another win where Nebraska addressed some of the key areas @arbitanalytics had concerns about entering the game. However, Big Ten opponents will be much less forgiving of any Husker mistakes.

Nebraska's net scoring margin through three games in the last two seasons: 104, 123.
It's the first time since the 1982-1984 seasons that Nebraska posted consecutive seasons with a 100+ scoring margin through three games

The middle 8 featured 3 North Dakota punts and 10 Nebraska points. The defense really stepped up with three straight (ignoring halftime) 3-and-outs when the Fighting Hawks had an opportunity to make it a game
A risky middle-8 situation for Nebraska, with North Dakota getting the ball to start the second half...
