Michigan State vs. Nebraska: Will Spartans end slide on Senior Day?

Will Michigan State snap its long losing streak in its final home game of the season on Saturday?

The Spartans enter Saturday’s matchup with the Cornhuskers looking to snap a six-game losing streak. Michigan State is 2-6 overall and 0-5 in Big Ten play this year, and hasn’t won a game since Harlon Barnett took over as interim coach in early September.

Nebraska, on the other hand, has been rolling since their early season slow start. The Cornhuskers are 5-3 overall and 3-2 in conference play with wins in their last three games and five of their last six.

So can Michigan State find a way to muster up a strong enough effort to get the win? See what the Spartans Wire staff thinks in our weekly Michigan State predictions below:

Prediction: MSU 10, Nebraska 20

Once again, Michigan State isn’t getting the benefit of the doubt for any games moving forward this year. The team is struggling through a very challenging year. Credit to the players for fighting through it, but you can’t take them to win right now.

Prediction: MSU 13, Nebraska 24

This team is just bad. Tune in to see some young guys play and improve, but I’m not expecting a win.

Prediction: MSU 13, Nebraska 23

Last week’s loss at Minnesota was my final straw — I won’t be picking the Spartans to win another game this year. I don’t think Nebraska is particularly great but there’s no reason for anyone to think Michigan State will win this game.
