McCarthy throws two touchdowns

Corum should find the end zone in this game, yet Nebraska doesn’t make things easy on the offense. Their front is big and physical too. The tackling has also improved immensely.

Michigan isn’t going to be able to just ram the ball into the end zone near the goal line. It might work, but it would be nice to see some creativity.

At some point, I see McCarthy throwing a touchdown pass of 20 yards or more. He will also have a red-zone touchdown, which could easily be a touchdown run. I feel like Colston Loveland will catch a touchdown along with Donovan Edwards (just a feeling).

Michigan football vs. Nebraska prediction

This Michigan team is one that I believe will rise to the challenge of playing on the road and put together its best game of the season.

Nebraska’s defense will do a good job of containing the run. But the Wolverines will still be able to establish their identity on the ground. McCarty will do the rest, along with the defense.

Heinrich Haarberg threw the ball pretty well against Northern Illinois and Louisiana Tech. Michigan is on an entirely different level and the Wolverines win 28-10.
