Nebraska football reaches 4-0 following Big Ten opener win

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have moved to a 4-0 record following an 18-point victory over Michigan State, marking their first unbeaten September since 2016 and their first Big Ten opener win since 2019.

Coordinators Dana Holgorsen and Rob Aurich, along with players, highlighted the team's defensive performance, noting six sacks and three takeaways during the win. The program, led by head coach Matt Rhule, has seen significant improvements in recruiting and roster depth, contributing to an average scoring margin of 30.5 points per game this season.

Nebraska now prepares to host the Maryland Terrapins. Coaches noted that Maryland remains a formidable opponent due to their defensive line and the mobility of quarterback Malik Washington, despite Maryland's recent heavy loss to UCLA.
