A Blackshirt rebirth helped the Huskers climb up the polls this week. The Huskers jumped up four spots to ninth in both the AP and USA Today Coaches polls. That leap enabled them to move up to tenth in the third batch of BCS rankings. The Huskers are the highest ranked Big Ten Conference team in all three of those sets of rankings. Nebraska throttled Michigan State 24-3 at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, allowing a season-low 187 yards of total offense to the visiting Spartans. The Husker offense had a season-low of their own, gaining just 270 yards, but two time-consuming touchdown drives in the third quarter sealed the game. The Huskers now sit in a three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten Legends Division with Michigan and Michigan State, all of whom have one conference loss.
