Halftime report- MIchigan is clearly an over ranked team. Nebraska clearly has a chance at winning this game. Both teams quarterbacks are just lousy passers.

Re: Nebraska Football 2021

We just don't know for sure yet if Michigan is for real or not. If Michigan really is a top 10 team then Nebraska could be in for a whooping. If Michigan is ranked way too high then the Huskers have a good chance. It is safe to suspect that Michigan is going to try to stop Martinez from running the ...
