Halftime: Nebraska 10, MSU 3

How far apart are MSU's defense and offense right now? The Spartans are stuffing the Cornhuskers with a third-string walk-on at Star linebacker. And they have 84 yards of total offense even though the line is getting push and giving Kirk Cousins time to throw.

    And no, I won't argue the fact that Cousins played a poor first half. He is throwing into coverage, taking sacks you can't take, missing on some throws he usually makes. MSU needs better passing and play calling in the final 30 minutes.

    As for the defense, it's in control of the Nebraska offense right now, but that offense may still have some explosive plays in it. MSU is going to have to score at least 17 points in the second half to win, I think.
