** 2022 Opponent Previews : Michigan (Game 10) **

This week's take from the Mgoblog.

Michigan should worry about: Nebraska has gotten out to hot starts in several games; they led Minnesota this week 10-0, they led Illinois in the second quarter, they led Oklahoma 7-0, they led Northwestern 14-3. Michigan, as you may have noticed, has been a second half team. There’s a decent chance Nebraska will grab, like, an early 10-7 lead, causing Michigan’s inevitable multiple-score win to feel thoroughly unenjoyable for quite a while.

Michigan can sleep soundly about: With Nebraska already struggling to stop the run, and facing a team that loves to screw with linebackers and safeties in run support, they really couldn’t afford to lose linebacker Nick Henrich for the year with a knee injury and safety Myles Farmer to a DUI.

When they play Michigan: Casey Thompson was averaging 9.0 yards per attempt. Chubba Purdy is averaging 2.5 yards per attempt with an 8.3% interception rate. Logan Smothers has thrown 11 passes this year. If Thompson can’t play… yeah.


Yeah?  Well, I see blackboard material for the Huskers:  "We get an extra day of practice this Saturday against Nebraska before our game next week with Illinois."  ~ Jim Harbaugh

I made that up.  But I bet he thunk it. 

 
I must be dumb cuz I can’t get any tweets to show up like you guys do 
Copy the tweet link,  paste it in the reply window, hit enter once to go to a new line so the link resolves and wait until it becomes an image.  Do not hit submit reply until that happens.  That's all there is to it.

The Weather says it shall be a cold chilly one.  Around 35-38 degrees at kickoff (230pm), possibly some flurries later in the game.   :hellloooo :hellloooo

Run the damn ball guy should be on alert.  Especially for defenses. 

Then play action and "whoop, over the top".  :lol:

It's going to be cold at kickoff and only getting colder...

 
I bet we lose by 6 

to keep our new tradition alive of losses by 7pts or less .  We are what, 5-23 in 1 score games over the last 5 yrs?  Or some ridiculous stat of “can’t we just win one of these”. 
 

or we gets our teeth kicked in 56-10 and they pull their horses midway thru 3rd qtr. 

now we know how KU, OK Lite, KSU, ISU, CU, and our non-con felt for 60yrs.

we are tie “we got this, don’t worry” game for top 10 teams now. Ugggghhh. 

 

Nebraska 31

UM  21

 
I don't see us playing particularly amazing, but this prediction is reasonable if we play well. I feel like our D won't be completely destroyed, I'm just wondering if our O can get first downs and keep UM off the field.

UM - 34

NU - 13

 
the snow will help us, we cover easily and might pull off the biggest upset in over a decade, i just hope there aren't any Spartans hiding in MI Stadium waiting to bash us with their helmets
