Nebraska’s 2021 overtime loss at Michigan State followed Jayden Reed’s 64-yard punt-return touchdown, tying the game. Adrian Martinez had put the Huskers up by seven on a 3-yard run with 5:05 left; he threw an overtime interception before Michigan State won on a field goal.
Michigan State went for a net loss of seven yards on three plays before Nebraska ran three times for six yards and punted. The column leaves open whether Daniel Cerni punted the wrong way or Nebraska’s coverage unit went the wrong way.
Ahead of Saturday’s Nebraska-Michigan State matchup, Nebraska listed tight end Carter Nelson as out and edge defender Jordan Ochoa as questionable; a key Spartans linebacker was also listed as out.
