Michigan Football: 3 Keys to Beating Nebraska Cornhuskers
By Josh LaFond
Exit stage left, Wisconsin. Enter stage right, Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have rebounded following a disappointing start to their season. But Michigan football is playing its best football under Jim Harbaugh. Will the Wolverines win or will Nebraska pull off the upset?
The Michigan Wolverines are playing like their pants are on fire. Storming out of the gate to a surprising 5-0 record, and a #9 ranking nationally.
Nebraska on the other hand has started this season off on a disappointing note. The Cornhuskers stand at a mediocre 3-3 but have some confidence after a 56-7 drubbing of the Northwestern Wildcats last week.
Was that win a legitimate building block for their season? Or was it a mirage? A mirage in which the 49 point win was not all that it seemed to be. Only time will tell.
What we do know, however, is that the game this Saturday night in Lincoln, Nebraska will be a good test for both squads. For Nebraska, an opportunity is presented to not only get this season back on the right track but more importantly, get this program on the right track with a potential win over a top-10 team.
As for Michigan football? This will be yet another measuring stick, one that will be in a raucous environment in which the Wolverines’ mettle will be pushed to the brink.
For Michigan football to stay undefeated on their road to Indianapolis and the Big Ten Championship, losing is not optional. They have to win.
