EAST LANSING - Michigan State's last road game of the season is Saturday at Nebraska.

Coach Mark Dantonio called it an "outstanding environment, one of the great venues in college football."

Memorial Stadium's capacity exceeds 85,000 and Nebraska has an NCAA-record streak of 368 consecutive sellouts dating back to 1962.

"What I remember is it's super loud," Michigan State senior safety Khari Willis said. "Their fans bring it."

Michigan State (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) hasn't faced Nebraska (3-7, 2-5) since a 39-38 loss in Lincoln in 2015. That upset dealt the Spartans their first defeat after an 8-0 start, but they still went on to win a Big Ten title and reach the College Football Playoff.

The Cornhuskers are 8-2 all-time against the Spartans, including 5-1 at home with the lone loss in Lincoln coming in 2013. Nebraska is known for drawing a packed stadium and loud crowd but also for its fans to be friendlier than others.

"It's funny, I had never experienced anything like it before I was there the first time too. It's different," Michigan State defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Mike Tressel said. "I think what you have to do is you have to realize that that's all part of the game, how nice they are to you pregame, how they welcome you, how they try to make you feel at home and they're trying to soften your armor a little bit. ... If you look at it that way and try to feel like they're actually disrespecting us by being this nice to us - if you can look at it that way, it's all just good."

Michigan State has just eight players likely available on Saturday who played in the 2015 loss at Nebraska. The rest of the team has been told to expect a friendly but loud crowd.

"They told me exactly that, that it's going to be a great environment, it's going to be a lot of energy," sophomore receiver Cody White said. "The other team is going to feed off that energy and we've just got to come ready to play."

Junior linebacker Joe Bachie will be playing at Nebraska for the first time and is conflicted about the potential of a hospitable road environment.

"I haven't played in front of, I feel like, a friendly (road) fan base so we'll see what happens," he said. "Regardless, I'm excited to go out there and play."
