His passing game is much improved. Denard and the Wolverines will find a way to win today, in combination with Michigans defense and Denards running game. Michigans defense will hold Taylor Martinez, his numbers will be low this game. Michigan has a point to prove, they have been bad on the road and they are out to prove that they can do it. Michigan 24 Nebraska 20.

Even in Cornhusker land. Nebraska has not faced a top ten defense all season long and their numbers are skewed. Let me reiterate Alabama has #1 defense, MSU has #5, ND has #6, Michigan #10. Toughest defense Nebraska has faced this season so far has been a Wisconsin squad at #18 at best. Saying that Nebraska will put up more than 30 is saying that Nebraska is on the same level or close to Alabama. That is laughable and unrealistic.

As others have indicated, Nebraska has been beaten by themselves…without turnovers and penalties, this team can hang with any BIG team. Michigan’s qb is a terrible passer, so Bo and company will force him to throw it up. Prediction: Huskers 31 Wolverines 24

The reason I said the Michigan defense won’t beat Nebraska is because they won’t have to. Robinson will run all over Nebraska and beat the Huskers alone. I believe Michigan stomps on the Huskers because of one reason: Shoelace.

You’re right, I didn’t watch much of the MSU v.s. UM game. What I know is Michigan’s defense is improved and MSU’s offense is weak. That is a perfect combo for a great defensive effort.

Just as Michigan know what they have in their QB, I know what I have in my head coach. Our team lacks discipline, our coach has failed for years to shutdown Shoelace-type QBs, and we can’t keep the ball off the floor. The media is calling for a Nebraska win and once again, the media will be proved wrong.

The only team that’s beaten Nebraska this year IS Nebraska. Against UCLate Nebraska had both games easily in hand. But as soon as either team made a Nebraska fell apart. Theyre offense did it again last week too but the typically potent northwestern offense(500 something ypg) was completely shut down (at some point I saw they had only 5n 27 plays. ) they had done just as well vs Braxton Miller up until they crumbled. Should DEFINITELY be an interesting game to watch because Obviously Denard will make plays and Nebraska indeed has always had difficulty vs mobile qbs but their corners have become consistently lockdown corners so Robinson will have to do it with his legs. And he WILL. question is, will Nebraska fall apart when he does. Fan of both teams but both teams “signature” wins (NU vs Wisconsin and Mich vs Mich st) have proven nothing. Michigan state definitely not worth the hype they receive(same team that ESCAPED with a win over Eastern Michigan and Wisconsin not any better.

Wonderful logic. lol whatever. Ohio cheated a win against Purdue by trapping the ball. Ohio is overrated.

Shame Burkhead won’t being playing as that would make it even more interesting.

Nice logic here…

“I think OSU’s defense will show up and stop those nittany kittens.”

The only team your defense looked respectable on was that powerhouse Michigan State offense that has set football back 50 years.

“And Meyer already said he has an offensive package that uses 2 quarterbacks. Watch out if he uses it.”

Please do. If you have to resort to stupid gimmicks like this one, you’re sending the message that your regular offense – which has been your strength all season – is not good enough to get the job done.

Penn State 34
Ohio State 24
