Spartans Surge After Early Scare

A matchup that had the aspirations of becoming yet another "Game of the Century" failed to occur, as then #3 Nebraska lost last week. Since the #2 at the time (West Virginia) lost as well, we thought that we would see #1 vs. #2 in the regular season.

Anyways, Nebraska looked like they were going to end the Spartans' run after getting to a 14-0 lead. However, Nebraska scored no more because the turnover bug ate them up.
