3. Don’t Commit Unforced Errors

Listen, folks, this is a night game. It’s in a hostile environment. Against a team that is motivated as all get out to pull off the upset and get their season back on track.

Keeping the ball out of harm’s way is the most important thing this team can do to ensure that the Cornhuskers don’t have a chance. Michigan is far more talented and they are much better coached.

Don’t give them fuel to think they have a chance in this game.

As we said in our last key, pound the rock early and establish the run. Take what the defense gives you in the passing game. Capitalize on field position and turnovers.

The only way Michigan football loses this game is if they beat themselves. Don’t allow that to happen and the Wolverines will head into their BYE week 6-0. Shoot yourself in the foot and it could be a tight game, one that could be in doubt.
