Is Gardner going to play Sat?

The key to a Nebraska win is making Michigan 1 dimensional. They have to shut down the run from the get go. Don't let their running game get going. They have been a pretty poor rushing team all year and that needs to stay that way.

Then they do need to rush the passer. BP needs to go away from his natural tendency to want to play coverage and blitz the QB. Gardner's confidence isn't that high right now they need to get after him. He is athletic for sure, but he isn't anywhere close to as elusive as Cain Colter.
They need to continue to blitz even if Gardner burns us for a big gain on 1 or 2 plays IMO.......

Gardner didn't practice until today from what I gathered from an article. He was pretty banged up in the MSU game.
if we can send consistent pressure and hit him a few times, he will have visions of MSU and start playing scared. That's what we need. He will be timid to run, and rush throws in the backfield.

Banged up pride.
