3 Keys to Michigan football beating Nebraska
By Josh LaFond
Score early, put your foot on their throat
Michigan’s offense is simple.
Pound the rock, hit play action shots, and make your opponent squirm as they watch an 8 minute, 80 yard drive take half the quarter off the clock and put 7 points up on the board.
This week’s game plan should be that game-plan personified.
Nebraska is ripe to get taken advantage of. Ranking 108th overall nationally in rushing yards allowed per game, the Huskers are giving up 4.5 yards per carry and 182 yards a game. Michigan football on the other hand ranks 4th nationally in rushing offense posting 5.65 yards per carry and 250 yards per game.
If Michigan can come out of the gates and work their offense they’ll settle in and make a flat out “bad” Nebraska offense have to play from behind. As long as the Wolverines can do that, don’t expect a win. Expect a bloodbath.
