ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There were snow flurries to start the game and it reminded everyone what Michigan is strong at. The Wolverines ran the ball down the Cornhuskers’ throat on Saturday.
J.J. McCarthy threw two passing touchdowns — to Ronnie Bell and to Bell who fumbled and Andrel Anthony recovered in the end zone — and ran for another. But he completed 47% of his passes and struggled to hit the deep throws.
Blake Corum ran for 162 yards in a game where he dominated. The Michigan offensive line did a great job in the run game but struggled with pass protection. McCarthy was sacked twice on Saturday, and the Cornhuskers had solid pressure.
In the end, Michigan allowed three points in the first half to Nebraska but those were the only points. The Wolverines won 34-3 on Saturday to move to 10-0 on the year.
