Nebraska

A few weeks before the Wolverines head to East Lansing, Michigan football will face a couple of other road tests: At Wisconsin and at Nebraska.

Just like Ohio State, it’s hard to see the Wolverines going into Camp Randall and winning this year. Wisconsin is tough, talented, and physical. The Badgers pounded U-M in the last two meetings and while I expect a better effort, predicting a win there is foolish.

Michigan should be able to win at Nebraska in a game that’s important for both head coaches. Scott Frost needs to get Nebraska to a bowl game this season and Harbaugh needs to at least have a winning season.

Just a few years ago, they were supposed to take the Big Ten by storm and up to this point, it has not happened. And whoever loses this game could find their seat a little warmer.
