Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

You can see after four games where Nebraska is heading and by and large thats an improved state as a program.      The short term problem is a lack of playmaking or skilled players offensively.  They will not have any mismatches to exploit.  OL is not strong.

They will struggle offensively the entire year.   

Heinrich isn't the worst stop gap by any stretch,  but going to be hard to see this team score more than 28 in any game, let alone get to the 20s.

I like what I see w the defense and the organization of the team.

Kickoff is at 3:30 ET on Fox and Michigan is favored by 17 points.  The last time Michigan was in Lincoln the Huskers made a game of it.   

I think the new clock rules coupled with Michigan's style are why the Wolverines are "only" scoring in the 30's each game despite the weak opposition.  

Against Rutgers the Wolverines only had seven possessions.  Six were fairly successful and they scored on four of them but "only" ended up with 31 points:

• 1:27, three-and-out
• 3:31, 7 plays, 94 yards, TD
• 5:20, 9 plays, 42 yards, missed FG
• 5:44, 11 plays, 79 yards, TD
• 7:53, 14 plays, 62 yards, FG - even though this was only a FG it essentially put the game away because it burned more than half of the third quarter and stretched the lead to two scores at 17-7.  
• 5:03, 9 plays, 66 yards, TD
• 6:57, 10 plays, 59 yards, End of game.  Michigan took over up 31-7 on their own 19 with 6:57 to go and held the ball to the end at the RU 26.  

Note that Michigan got a Pick-6, three offensive TD's, and one FG.  


All-in-all, that is a pretty successful day for an offense.  Only one three-and-out and every other drive went at least 7 plays and at least 42 yards and Michigan had a defensive TD and they still only scored 31.  

Rhule, during his weekly press conference on Monday, recounted Harbaugh’s work as Michigan’s head coach, and discussed many aspects of Harbaugh’s philosophy that he’s looking to install in Lincoln as he looks to transform the program.

“He’s had a real impact on the game … his blueprint for building that program, for the way that they play, a lot of those things are similar,” he said. “Obviously we want to have a little bit of an option element at times, too, so there’s differences, but the overarching blueprint for being great on the ‘O’ and ‘D’ lines, having good quarterback play, being physical at tight end, all those things, that’s what we’re doing.”
