Nebraska Pulls Away From Michigan State 31-13
Vincent Genatone had three carries for 4 yards. He also scored twice, which is why his name leads this recap. Nebraska beat Michigan State 31-13 to go to 4-0, and Genatone's 14.7 Promethium points were nearly his whole season: he had 15.2 points over three games, 14.7 of them in this one.
Michigan State got the first points, a 48-yard Liam Boyd field goal in the first quarter, and never led again after Anthony Colandrea found Kwazi Gilmer from 44 yards out with 1:45 left in that quarter. Mekhi Nelson ran in a 4-yard touchdown, Kyle Cunanan kicked a 32-yard field goal, and Jaziun Patterson cut it to 17-10 with a 2-yard run. Then Colandrea threw 13 yards to Genatone with two seconds left in the half. That made it 24-10 at the break rather than 17-10, and Michigan State got only a field goal the rest of the way. Genatone's 1-yard run early in the fourth closed it out.
The turnover column tells the rest. Nebraska had none. Michigan State threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, and the Nebraska defense got to the quarterback six times. The Spartans ran 32 times for 39 yards, against 41 carries for 157 yards on the other side. Nebraska finished with 369 total yards to 257.
Michigan State drops to 2-2. For fantasy, Colandrea's 27.1 points came from 15 of 27 for 212 yards and two touchdowns through the air, plus 10 carries for 66 yards. Gilmer added 20.1 on 4 catches for 101 yards.
