so, Michigan's opponent hasn't been called for holding in almost 1000 pass attempts?

The enforcement- or lack thereof really- of Holding on pass plays is the single biggest contributor to the lack of balance between offense and defense in college football today IMO. The passing game has changed from an exercise in pass pro to the stuff of videogames...any route combo and OC can dream up is possible when your OL can bearhug five rushers.

Its saying that Michigan gets the fewest Holding Calls in their favor, vs the number of sacks they register. IOW, Michigan is getting hosed the worst of anybody in the league.

realistically, UNL started their 3rd string QB vs Troy.   3rd string in a new system.  The result should not have been a surprise.  
Yeah, no one has ever had any success with a third string quarterback.

you might also be the only person to equate UNL's talent across the team (and at that point in a brand new system... 2nd game in...) with OSU's.... OSU at least had 3 QB's on the roster with scholarships.    UNL at had 1.  
But I'm sure you already knew that...

I seriously considered picking Nebraska in the upset thread this week.

I'm sure the Buckeyes will throw 70+ passes this Saturday w/o a holding penalty
Quit your sniveling even Michigan fans wait for the Game to start before crying a River

at this point I think it is clear that UNL has one of the top offenses in the league... and one of the worst defenses.

When you have bad special teams, visually its such a magnified problem and creates the foulest mood as a fan.   It's like three jacking from inside of 20 feet on the greens.  You want to chuck that putter into the nearest pond/lake.
