Huskers are a underdog once again

Well if we beat them then people will finally give us some respect because that will show that we are better than people think. I think we can do it but we can't afford any turnovers plus our O-line needs to block and give Taylor and Ross some time to make some plays. GBR!!! :restore2

 
May sound bias, but I can pretty much guarentee that this will be Nebraska's toughest opponent this year. With all due respect to Texas Tech and Oklahoma, Michigan has the highest calibur talent out of all of Nebraska's opponents.
I am predicting a Michigan victory by count of 27-17. Lloyd Carr never clobbers anybody. When we were up 41-7 at halftime against Indiana, none of the starters played a second of the 2nd half. Carr's playcalling is custom fit to the calibur of his opponent (unless the opponent is severely inferior-- see Eastern Michigan and Indiana) Much of Michigan's success will depend on the health status of Mike Hart, who is far and away the best back Michigan possesses. If Hart is healthy, Michigan's balanced offense will definitely provide a difficult challenge.

I don't think Michigan will cover a 13.5 point spread. However, if Michigan does play a marginally solid game, I don't see them losing. I know the Huskers are coming off a big victory, but I think it's more Colorado's blundering than Nebraska's sudden epiphany regarding a winning quotient. There may be progress, but I believe the 30-3 score exaggerates this.

Regardless, it should be a game worth watching with neither team putting away the other until late in the game.

I agree with you. Most talented and strongest opponent. One of the things that bothers me to is although UM doesn't put up points, everyone always seems to have breakout games against NU.

 
Doesnt that always seem to be the case....someone can score nothing all year long then our team bus gets hijacked and someone puts up 21 in the first quarter before we even show up.

I am looking forward to this game. The bottom line is that our O needs to keep our D fresh and not have the 3 and outs. If we can at least get some yardage we will be ok. We have the talent on D to put pressure on the QB to make him get rattled.

13 1/2 is a little steep though. Oh well. We shall see.

 
i'm pretty certain that if you go back and check the stats you'll find that most teams we played this year scored below their average against us ... especially if you factor in ST & D touchdowns ...

i think the KU/MU hangover is still persisting with some ....
