Huskers junior quarterback Taylor Martinez has thrown for 1,781 yards this season with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions, along with six rushing touchdowns and 461 yards on the ground.
Meanwhile, the Spartans (5-4, 2-3 in the Big Ten) went into Madison and defeated the Wisconsin Badgers in overtime, 16-13, last week.
