Right now I would look at the NU totals...I don't know what they are yet but my guess is 10.5. I would look at those unders first.

You are talking to teach, from a Mav post. Are you sure you weren't thinking about my lame picks ??!?!! chuckleshuffle :throw
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.

Probably a good thing. He'd likely get slaughtered in this game and would aggravate any injury he's already dealing with.

Agreed, but this year is on the OL, not on QB runs. I can count designed QB runs by CT on one hand. Also, back then we had absolute hogs. We are too soft now.

I honestly think Casey has taken more hard shots in the pocket than Martinez did. Adrian had more cumulative hits that added up to a broken body though. The best thing 2AM had going was his size meant he could take more of a beating, but both of them have had the s#!t beat out of them.
And yes I expect this to be posted to the OOCT.
