WHERE YOU HAVE MISSED IT
Five compulsory readings before the kick off:
* Who will start at the quarterback for Michigan State on Saturday? That's the question every fan wants to know. But Mark Dantonio says the decision will remain "internal".
* This season has been a series of bad news for the Spartans. But Cody White returned to the field and resumed his good habits.
* Nebraska coach Scott Frost and quarterback Brian Lewerke of Michigan State date back to the time Frost was an assistant to Oregon and recruited the native of Arizona . Scott now knows what to expect from the Lewerke and Michigan State defense.
* The Spartans' offensive troubles go well beyond an incoherent quarter game. The Spartans had a mixed offensive line, played mostly without LJ Scott and had a series of wide receiver injuries. Dantonio has called the offensive struggles of this season "difficult to explain".
* Despite its record, Nebraska ranks 13thth in the nation in total offense at 32.3 points per game. This will be the last test for a state defense of Michigan that has withstood tough tests.
