There are some emerging players I'm really excited about. 

• When Rashan Gary went out, Kwity Paye maintained nearly the same level on run D (and Kwity *may* have a better pass rush, though that isn't the core of Rashan's game). Would have seemed preposterous in the preseason.
• Carlo Kemp is quietly ascending as a DT the last few games; major luxury with Solomon out and all that Dwumfour hype clearly being *excusively* about him as a pass rusher (he cannot run stuff)
• Will Hart averaged 60 yards on 3 punts and is at 53/p on the season. This was supposed to be a huge weakness. It isn't

Aidan Hutchinson looked more impressive to me than either Kemp or Paye. Paye looked pretty close. Still not all that impressed with Kemp. He's a much better fit inside though then at DE. At DE he basically sucked. At DT he's a solid player- nothing more. Don't want to overreact to him going from sucking at DE to being a solid player at DT.
Hutchinson though flashed off the screen. He leaps off the screen. That's a future NFL DE. Looks like a Bosa brother to be honest. Paye flashed as well. Really like his power to speed combo. Very explosive DE. He's a future NFL DE as well.
Dwumfour was all hype. Next Mo Hurst my ass. REALLY sick and tired of the Michigan 247 and Rivals sites just being mouth pieces of the Michigan coaching staff. They don't let any real info out- all the staff does is leak hype to those sites and the sycophants eat it up. Dwumfour is average at best.
If I'm Mattison and Brown I am seriously thinking of moving Gary inside next to Mone and then rotating Paye and Hutchinson at DE and then putting one of them in for Winovich when he needs a breather.  That way they get the best 5 DL's out on that field on almost all snaps.

The idea of putting Rashan at DT is an old one, but definitely intriguing. Works a lot better when planned for in the offseason, though.

A stat cited by Dave Revsine: 6 of Nebraska's plays were explosive, netting 122 yards. The remaining 48 plays? Only 10 yards. And from my recollection, 60-80 of those 122 yards in the first group must have come against Michigan's 3rd, 4th, and 5th stringers.

Took a peek at some of the Nebraska boards. Some of the natives are getting a little restless already.

I dunno. Riley recruited fairly OK (according to the rankings anyway). He biffed on OL and DL though, and that's what is killing UNL right now.

The eye test says he was prolly fired for recruiting

He was fired for not being Tom Osbourne*, as was Solich, Billy C (never should have been hired) and BoPeep.

Riley never should have been hired though, but I'm glad he was, since it opened a spot for Jerry Andeson at OrSU, which led to Paul Chryst coming home to Madison.

King Barry orchestrated that whole thing. Heh.

* Even Tom Osbourne wasn't Tom Osbourne until his last five seasons, right?
