Michigan holds a 6-4-1 all-time series lead over Nebraska.
Usually when the two teams meet, both squads are pretty close in skill and the records indicate that. But this year, the Wolverines and Cornhuskers are headed in different directions.
Michigan is ranked No. 3 and is 9-0. Nebraska fired its head coach, Scott Frost, after three games and the Cornhuskers haven’t recovered well. The Cornhuskers are 3-6 and injuries have multiplied. Nebraska will be without its starting quarterback for the second straight game and inconsistency with the backups has been an issue for Nebraska’s offense.
The Wolverines are coming off a dominating second half against Rutgers last weekend to win 52-17, and the Cornhuskers are on a three-game losing streak.
The maize and blue are heavy favorites in the game. But football games are all played for a reason and here are our three keys for Michigan to remain unbeaten on Saturday.
