Michigan is favored by 29. Kick-off is at 3:30pm. Michigan needs to stay healthy and keep working on the kinks in the passing game and red zone. Would love for this to be a Donovan Edwards game and have them really feature him.

Michigan is dealing with some injuries and there's rumors of a "bug" going around in Ann Arbor.

Every single team is dealing with injuries Week 11 into the season.

Blake was throwing up on the sidelines a couple times vs Rutgers. Haven't seen any such rumor about a bug, but 'tis the season. Winter is when everyone gets sick. Winter is basically here.

Nebraska looked good when they were running through their set of scripted plays. Not so much after that.

Michigan has a pretty good RB duo. All due respect to Hassan Haskins who was great last year in his senior year- but these guys are better....

I'm thinking Cade McNamara hit more passes over 35 yards by this time last year than JJ has this year so it could get better.

do we know that is even true? feel like last year almost all the deep passes they hit were from...JJ. Cade was the definition of mr dink and dunk, captain check down. JJ is averaging more yards per attempt and more yards per completion this year than Cade, so you just might be wrong on that.

I think the biggest issue with their deep passing game is this: Ronnie Bell & Cornelius Johnson. Ronnie gets too much playing time and he's just not that dude. He's a slot chain moving receiver, he's not a guy who is going to win on the go route or the post and he's not a guy who is going to go up in the air and Moss people and make tough contested catches. That is not him. He's not that dude. Yet they keep trying to make him that. Cornelius Johnson is a big strong, fast guy and he can go up and make tough catches, but he's really not that sudden or quick PLUS he's a poor route runner and he's got awful hands. He drops too many passes. Great blocker though.

Roman Wilson has missed lot of stretches this year- and he's really the only guy they play a lot who can win on the go route and the post and get open deep because he's a good route runner with elite speed. They haven't featured Roman enough and he's been hurt a lot this year and missed practice times and games. And they refuse to give probably their best talent at WR- Andrel Anthony any playing time. And they won't try out the big fast freshman WR's Amorion Walker and Darrius Clemons either.

There is a talent and coaching issue at WR, imo. Ronnie Bell and Cornelius Johnson are just not that good. Ronnie would be a terrific slot WR and 3rd option- but they're trying to make him a #1 and he's just not that. Cornelius Johnson is....bad. Roman Wilson is pretty good- but he's not a complete WR- he's more one trick pony- he's go route and post- that's basically all he can do.

Michigan is favored by 29. Kick-off is at 3:30pm. Michigan needs to stay healthy and keep working on the kinks in the passing game and red zone. Would love for this to be a Donovan Edwards game and have them really feature him.
I've been meaning to ask about his. Why has Michigan been having red zone issues of late?

To define issues:
Against Rutgers the Wolverines had two fairly deep penetrations in the first half (not technically red zone) that resulted in missed FG's which is why it was 17-14 RU instead of 28-17 M at the half.

Against MSU in the first half the Wolverines had three Red Zone trips for 13 points. They were dominating the game but only up 13-7 at the half. For the game as a whole the Wolverines had only two TD's and five FG's. It was still a solid 29-7 win but could easily have been a much bigger win.

Against PSU in the first half the Wolverines had one TD and three FG's which is why they only led 16-14 at the half and briefly trailed 17-16 in the third quarter. I realize that they were dominating statistically but this is usually how upsets happen.

This surprises me because usually running teams have less trouble in the red zone. When Ohio State struggled in the Red Zone last year I understood it. When you get close to the end zone the defenders don't have to worry about your WR's burning them deep because the back line of the endzone acts as an extra defender. Running teams don't generally face that problem because they aren't using that part of the field anyway. What gives?

just doesn't make sense to me...the ONE guy you have at WR that was straight up balling, making huge plays every time you play him as a TRUE FRESHMAN last year- you refuse to fkng play. Lol. Harbaugh really is an idiot when it comes to personnel decisions. Anybody with a set of fkng eye balls can see Andrel Anthony is the most talented WR on that roster....and he doesn't play. LMAO.

play calling in the red zone has been a major issue. they try to get too cute, run reverses or jet sweeps in the fkng red area and lose yards- they do this crap A LOT. they also refuse to throw any jump ball goal line fades- which USED to be a staple of a Michigan offense- yet they refuse to even try it. they refuse to move the pocket and roll out and have JJ throw on the run in the red area- which they did really well last year- recall a couple red zone TDs that were perfect. they refuse to call any designed QB runs in the red area. you need your best stuff, need to get a little creative in the red area to score as field is shorter- or you need to trust your big 6'2+ WR's to go up and make a play on goal line fades- and this idiot coaching staff does neither.

it's just a clusterfk of a clunky sloppy uncoordinated mess in the red area.

Through 9 games, the 2022 Michigan Defense is giving up;

9.77 Points per game (removing the PSU helmet bounce fluke pick 6 and punt block for TD vs Rutgers)
242.4 Yards per game - 1st in FBS
72.4 Rush yards per game - 1st in FBS
170 Pass yards per game - 9th in FBS
13.2 First downs per game - 2nd in FBS
29.7% 3rd Down conversion allowed % - 7th in FBS
29 Sacks - tied for 4th in P5 with BAMA
83 % Stop Rate - 1st in FBS 
0.93 Points per drive allowed- 2nd in FBS

All of these defensive stats are significantly out pacing their defense from last year. It's crazy to say considering they lost their DC to the NFL and Ojabo, Hutch, and Dax Hill - but their defense is actually playing better this year. The new DC Minter who comes from that same Ravens system has been a maestro at 2nd half adjustments, it's all these guys 2nd year in the same Ravens style 3-4 system, and guys like Mike Morris and Mazi Smith have taken their games up a level and Mike Sainistril has honestly been every bit as good as Dax Hill at the nickel- which is astounding considering the guy was playing WR last year.

Remember when Denard Robinson had to come out of the 2012 game in Lincoln due to an injured elbow nerve and Michigan had to play Russell Bellomy?  No pity here. At the time I was pretty pissed at Hoke because he said he had two QBs ready to play and that clearly was not the case.

Nebraska vs. Michigan: 10 things every fan needs to know about this rivalry

First meeting in 1905
While the schools have met just 11 times in football, the original tussle took place in Ann Arbor back in 1905. A 31-0 Michigan win on Oct. 21.

Walter C. Booth coached the Huskers, while the Wolverines were led by Fielding H. Yost. Yost went 165-29-10 during his 25-year tenure in Ann Arbor.

A tie affair in 1911
The second meeting between the schools resulted in the only tie. A 6-6 final in Lincoln was 1 of 2 identical tie scores for the Huskers that year, the other coming against Iowa State.

The Wolverines also had a pair of 6-6 ties that year, the other coming against Syracuse.

1917 — Wolverines shut out Nebraska
The 1917 game would be the last between the schools for 45 years. Yost earned his final win over Nebraska, defeating head coach “Doc” Stewart.

The Wolverines would win their first 8 games of the season before dropping the final 2 to Penn and Northwestern.

Devaney’s inaugural season results in NU win
Bob Devaney came to Nebraska in 1962 from Wyoming. Devaney replaced Bill Jennings and immediately put Nebraska football on the map.

Devaney earned his 1st signature win in Week 2 with a 25-13 victory in Ann Arbor. The Huskers would go on to finish 9-2, winning an exciting Gotham Bowl, 36-34 over Miami (Fla.) at Yankee Stadium.

Michigan, under coach Bump Elliott, suffered through a 2-7 season in which it was outscored 214-70.

QB Jim Harbaugh leads Fiesta Bowl win
Current Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh started under center for Michigan as it held off a late 4th-quarter Nebraska rally to win 27-23 in Tempe on New Year’s Day 1986.

Harbaugh had 2 rushing TDs as the Wolverines overcame a 14-3 halftime deficit, rallying with 24 unanswered points in the 3rd quarter.

The game pitted 2 of the most legendary coaches of all-time in Tom Osborne and Bo Schembechler. It was also the game where Nebraska QB Steve Taylor made his debut as a freshman. Taylor replaced McCathorn Clayton and led Nebraska to a 4th quarter TD.

Taylor had 1 final chance to put the Huskers on top, but an errant pass in the end zone was intercepted and the Wolverines held on for victory.

Wild finish on the Riverwalk
It’s safe to say the 2005 Alamo Bowl had one of the craziest endings of all time.

More than 63,000 fans were entertained with a back and forth affair, with the drama reaching its peak on the final play.

With Nebraska taking a 32-28 lead with under 5 minutes to play on a Terrance Nunn TD reception, the game finally came down on a single play.

The 1982 Cal-Stanford game would be reminiscent of what was to come. Michigan used 7 laterals with the ball in Tyler Ecker’s hands as time expired. Players on both sides thought the ball was dead and came on the field. A few of the officials were already headed to the locker room.

Yet the play continued, and Ecker bolted nearly 60 yards to the Nebraska 16 before Zack Bowman knocked him out of bounds to save the day for the Huskers.


Wolverines welcome Huskers to B1G with a beatdown
Nebraska’s 1st year in the B1G was met with a bit of resistance. There was talk of how Nebraska would come in and dominate the league.

Didn’t happen.

Michigan, under first-year coach Brady Hoke, dismantled Bo Pelini’s team 45-17 in Ann Arbor. The Huskers dropped a near-identical 48-17 game in Madison earlier, as Pelini’s team would finish 9-4.

The Wolverines would finish 11-2, with losses to Michigan State and Iowa. Hoke’s team would go on to defeat Virginia Tech 23-20 in the Sugar Bowl.

Defense helps Huskers flip script in 2012
Michigan made its first-ever trip to Memorial Stadium in 2012. Pelini’s defense was ready this time around, and the Huskers stymied the Michigan offense in a 23-9 win.

It’s the only season Nebraska has qualified for the B1G championship game. It didn’t go well, with a 70-31 loss to Wisconsin. However, the Huskers won 6 straight league games en route to the Legends Division title.


The Wolverines had another successful season under Hoke, finishing 6-2 in the division and a game behind the Huskers.

Abdullah saves the day in 2013
The 2013 game was another nail-biter between the schools. Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah took it in from 5 yards out with 2 minutes remaining to give Nebraska a 17-13 come-from-behind win. It was Abdullah’s 2nd TD of the day.

Michigan would finish the game with negative rushing yards — even with QB Devin Gardner’s sack losses taken out of the equation.

The Wolverines would stumble to a 7-6 finish, losing 5 of their last 6.

Frost with rude awakening in 1st year
Scott Frost’s 1st season in Lincoln didn’t go well. And things certainly weren’t roses and sunshine when he took his team to the Big House for his 1st B1G game.

Michigan cruised to a 56-10 win. A game that wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate, the Wolverines led 39-0 at half. A complete and total mismatch. A more-physical Michigan team had its way with the Huskers in front of 111,000 fans.

It was 1 of 10 straight wins Michigan put together that year. Losses to Notre Dame and Ohio State bookended the season.

Instant classic in Lincoln in 2021
Michigan’s 32-29 win in Memorial Stadium had a little of everything: drama, comebacks, ebb-and-flow, high intensity.

The Wolverines held Nebraska scoreless in the opening half, as they sprinted to a 13-0 lead. Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum provided the lethal 1-2 rushing punch for Harbaugh’s squad.

However, Adrian Martinez, who threw 3 TDs, would rally Nebraska with a 22-point 3rd quarter. And his 4th quarter rushing touchdown put Nebraska ahead 29-26.

But Michigan rallied with a pair of Jake Moody field goals and a strip of Martinez on the Huskers’ final possession to escape with the win and remain unbeaten.

5* true frosh CB Will Johnson notched his first start last week vs Rutgers and recorded his first career INT. Johnson will likely make his 2nd start this week vs Nebraska- due to starter Gemon Green still recovering from injuries sustained during Sparty's prison style tunnel jumping. Johnson had a great game with the exception of one missed tackle which sprung Rutgers for a big gain and ended up with them kicking a FG and getting points.

He needs to get more consistent- but Will's 82.7 PFF grade is tops among all true freshmen cornerbacks who’ve played at least 100 snaps this season.

Harbaugh and his staff kinda suck when it comes to starting younger CLEARLY more talented players. Gemon Green is a 5th year who has put in his time and "earned his stripes"- even if he's nowhere near the talent Johnson is- so naturally Jeem starts the lesser talented older player- it's just what his dumbass does- it's a thing. Hate to say it but the Sparty thugs might've did Michigan a favor and pushed Will Johnson into a starting role. Seeing dude in person- he physically looks like an NFL CB- he looks like what you'd expect a 1st round NFL CB to look like- and he's an 18 year old true freshman. Gemon Green is a 5th year 22-23 year old- and well- he just doesn't look the same on the hoof as Will nor is he as fluid.

Will's dad is a former Michigan player. Let's hope one day that Charles Woodson has a son that plays DB and is a 5* and Tom Brady has one that plays QB and is a 5* and they both go to Michigan...that'd be cool af.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-4, 3-6) at #3 Michigan Wolverines (6-0, 9-0)
3:30 - Ann Arbor, MI - ABC
Michigan is absolutely rolling right now.  For about 30 seconds after the Maryland win has been the only time anyone questioned them.  If there is anything to say right now, they could probably start a little faster.  They were tied 10-10 with Indiana midway through the 3rd, and finished on a 21-0 run.  They were trailing Penn State 17-16 midway through the 3rd, and finished on a 25-0 run.  They were trailing Michigan State 7-3 early in the 2nd, and finished on a 26-0 run.  Then last week they trailed Rutgers 17-14 midway through the 3rd, and finished on a 38-0 run.  When they turn it on they look as good as anyone in the country, and even early in their sleepwalks, it never looked like they were struggling.  I'm not sure Nebraska has much of a shot at full health, but the Huskers already confirmed that starting quarterback Casey Thompson will miss his second straight start.  It's a bit of a surprise, because there was some thought he might play last week.  Neither replacement option is good.  Chubba Purdy has had more opportunities, and on 36 attempts is averaging just 2.5 ypa, on 44% passing, with 3 interceptions.  Might as well at least see what you have in Logan Smothers, he has better numbers, albeit on just 11 attempts, and is supposedly the better runner.  Unless you just don't want to kill the kid's confidence against this Michigan defense, which has looked better than expected.  Trey Palmer, who was looking like a First Team All-Conference receiver with Thompson, has disappeared without him.  His last two games were his two worst games of the season.  After going off for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns against Purdue 3 weeks ago, Thompson's last game, he has a total of 38 yards in the two games without him.  The Husker defense has actually been pretty solid, but when you have an offense that goes up tempo, but only averages about 26 minutes of TOP, the defense is just on the field way too much.  I think that side of the ball holds its own for a bit.  It's 14-3 or something at halftime, but they eventually wilt.
MICHIGAN 44, NEBRASKA 3

Nebraska interim head coach Mickey Joseph — leading the visitors on Saturday afternoon — has no concerns about anything happening in the tunnel. Joseph explained that the coaching and support staff plan to make sure their guys get straight to the locker room and they have no major worries to begin with.

“We’re going to make sure our kids get in the tunnel and we have a plan to make sure our kids get in the tunnel and get in there and get in there safely,” Joseph said. “But we’re not going there for that. We’re not talking about the altercation, what happens in the tunnel. We’re going to be professional like we always are and we’re going to get our kids in, and get our kids out. But I don’t see a problem happening.”


“I have faith in the University of Michigan administration, that they’re going to do everything in their power to make sure we don’t have an altercation,” Joseph said.

Bob Devaney's first big win

I was a couple months old and the sellout streak started the following week vs Iowa St.

UPSET VICTORY RAISES HOPES OF NU RESURGENCE
Coach Bob Devaney gained Coach of the Week honors and fullback Bill Thornton was named Back of the Week after the Cornhuskers shocked Michigan, 25-13, before 70,287 Band Day fans — the largest crowd to see Nebraska play in a regular-season game.

Thornton scored two TDs and blocked ferociously — his first contact since a preseason shoulder dislocation — while Dennis Claridge hit 6 of 12 passes for 89 yards. Halfback Dennis Stuewe led all rushers with 60 yards.

Entering the fourth quarter, Nebraska led 19-7 before Michigan cut the deficit to 19-13. But Nebraska answered back. On a fourth-and-eight play inside the Michigan 30, Claridge passed to Dick Callahan for a first down. On the next play, Thornton rumbled 16 yards for a touchdown.

Sports Illustrated reported: “Most credit for the upset belonged to a huge Cornhusker line that allowed Michigan halfback Dave Raimey only 59 yards rushing.”
Nebraska’s scoring drives covered 63, 81, 38 and 75 yards.
An ankle injury sidelined Stuewe for the entire second half.
A crowd of 3,500 welcomed the team Saturday night at the Lincoln airport.
The win earned the Huskers a No. 16 ranking in the UPI coaches’ poll.
NU’s point total in its first two games was the highest since 1922.

Blake Corum = Mike Hart + 15 lbs + elite acceleration and 4.4 speed. They're both around 5'8+, but Hart was about 195 and sloooooow. Hart was like 4.7. NOT fast. Blake goes about 210 and he's a legit 4.4 guy. He fast.

He's literally the same size, runs very similarly, always falls forward for extra yardage, is slippery af between the tackles, runs hard, blocks, catches the ball....he's like the exact same as Mike Hart but bigger, stronger, and faster. It's crazy to watch.

Andrew Luck's college stats his first year starting were very similar to JJ's- only to explode in his second year. Not saying JJ is Andrew Luck or will be that- am saying that Jim Harbaugh doesn't trust first time starting QBs very much and is super conservative.
