Can Michigan throw on Nebraska?

The schedule for Nebraska hasn't exactly been a murder's row of offenses, however, Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby has averaged over 290 passing yards per game in his last two games. He threw for 67 against Nebraska.

Nebraska is allowing just 66 pssing yards per game through three games. They haven't seen a passing attack like Michigan's or a quarterback like Bryce, in terms of arm talent.

The cornerbacks are good, though. Ceyair Wright is a name followers of Michigan football recruiting will remember. He's the top cornerback, along with Donovan Jones and Idaho transfser Andrew Marshall.

John Butler, the DC has an NFL background. He's not Brent Venabes, but in four games as the Nebraska DC dating back to the bowl game, the Huskers are allowing just 9.75 points per game.

Marlin Klein might end up being the go-to guy. Hogan Hansen is another name to know. It feels like the tight ends will have favorable matchups, but as we have seen with Bryce, receivers don't need to be open for him to fire a completion.
