Michigan has given up 64 points this season, for an average of 12.8 ppg. However, if you remove three garbage time TD's vs the 2nd and 3rd stringers that all came late in 4th QTR when games were out of hand- 4th QTR TD vs WMU up 47-7, 4th QTR TD vs. NIU up 63-3, and the last minute TD vs. Wisconsin up 38-10- and Michigan's first team defense has only given up 43 points through 5 games for a 8.6 ppg average.

That's not too shabby, no matter the competition you're facing.

agreed, unfortunately

Harbaugh shares a story about how when they got back from Wisconsin he was in his office unpacking things, and he looks out and sees a trio of true frosh QB JJ McCarthy, RB Donovan Edwards, & WR Andrel Anthony out on the practice field working on routes & hand-off exchanges- working to get better- literally right after getting back from Wisconsin.

Just a matter of time- when not if- JJ McCarthy takes over the QB job from McNamara.

Michigan needs two QBs ready to play given recent history. The last time Michigan played in Lincoln in 2012 Michigan QB Denard Robinson was injured and had to come out of the game.  His backup, who I no longer remember, was not ready.  Devin Gardner stayed at WR.  Still frustrated about that situation.

Russell Bellomy.  IIRC he threw more interceptions than completions

Yeah, he was terrible. But he probably never should've been at Michigan in the first place. He was only there because Hoke screwed the QB recruiting up so bad. Michigan has went on a run of some astonishingly terrible QB's post 2007.

Even through Harbaugh's tenure, by far the best guy he had was a 5th year sr grad transfer Jake Rudock who Iowa didn't want. McNamara is looking like he's probably 2nd or 3rd best right there with Shea Patterson. Rest of them pretty much sucked.

With an undefeated top-10 opponent coming to Lincoln, the Huskers are hoping that the fans create another raucous environment like the one they did last week against Northwestern.

“I think our guys were fired up last week and I think they’ll be even more juiced up this week,” Chinander said. “The crowd was awesome and the light show was pretty awesome. We talked about it the other day—you have a 6:30 p.m. kick in Memorial Stadium on national television against a ranked team, if you ain’t up for this one, you don’t belong in our room.”
