Or at the minimum we play well and stop getting blown out. Yep. One thing that would give our team a huge boost one way or the other would be a healthy Martinez that goes out there and allows our offense to open up. The playbook against Troy felt kind of limited with Bunch in the game (even though that's hard to prove) and it's honestly fairly depressing thinking about what Michigan's defense is capable of doing against our vanilla run game. If Troy held us to under 20 points...sheesh. And just to end with at least one positive note, I really think we can beat Wisconsin with a healthy Martinez...so if he's in a spot where playing full speed on Saturday aggravates the injury, don't play him. We could still win the West this season. We really could. Quote Link to comment

MichiganDad3 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Michigan gets tough on D in the 2nd half. 19 points surrendered in the 1st, 28 in the 2nd, and most of the 19 were after Michigan had a big lead. We cannot fumble away the 1st quarter. We need to be sharp from the start. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wonder if the staff has picked Breon Dixon's brain about Patterson's tendencies. Different style O, but can't hurt having a guy who played "against" him. For the record, IF Martinez is 100% Saturday, we win. That's my hell yea, forget about what happened last Sat shot of kool-aid prediction. 1 Quote Link to comment

I also don't think the fighting Harbaugh's are mentally tough, meaning they will have written NU off as an easy W already. I think the switch flips and lights turn on for the team this week to start figuring it out... Quote Link to comment

That probably works in our favor. I expect coaches and team to play faster and looser given the reduced expectations. (just dont tell them we expect this) If Appalachian St. can do it.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 You guys saying Nebraska is gonna win...love your optimism. However, please pass me whatever substances you're ingesting because I could use some. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Nebraska will win if: *Go + in the turnover margin *No stupid penalties *Win on 3rd down defensively However, through 2 games we give the ball away like parents handing out candy on Halloween, commit stupid penalties that give opponents free 1st downs, and too often can't get opposing offenses off the field after 3rd down. Defensively Nebraska is pretty good at getting offenses into 3rd and long, but just can't finish. If Nebraska wants to have a chance, they need to accomplish/fix those three bullet points.
