Can the pass rush get home?
Michigan's pass rush has been up-and-down this season. The Wolverines have seven sacks through three games. Honestly, they got some decent pressure on John Mateer, but they weren't able to finish.
The Brandyn Hillman play is one that stands out. If he completes the sack on Mateer, who made him miss, then threw a bomb, on a third down, to set up first-and-goal, the outcome could have been different.
Dylan Raiola, the Nebraska quarterback, isn't much of a running threat. He will run a little bit. He's got first down runs in each of the past two games, but his athleticism is more about buying time in the pocket.
Raiola is great against zone coverage. The receivers are good against man -- the key is getting pressure. The front four need to win. Jaishawn Barham and Derrick Moore especially need to play well, or it could be a long night for the defense.
