NEBRASKA / MICHIGAN


Gotta start something already, don't I? With the big game next week, hopefully Michigan isn't looking past this one. Why would they though? Nebraska hasn't traveled to Ann Arbor in I don't know how long, and they are good. Nebraska is typical of many Big-Ten teams on the offensive side of the ball. Stack the box and let the inefficient QB beat you with the pass. Martinez is, well, a mechanically bad passer. They have inferior WR's to Michigan and shouldn't surprise the secondary at all with talent. Can Michigan stop the run? They did last week but Nebraska is a heavy hitting, blue collar, smash mouth running team.

Nebraska's D isn't what it was hyped up to be before the season started, but adequate. Denard will start I'm sure, and if they go shotgun with two backs like they did early against Illinois, things should go well. Toussaint is hot and his confidence flying high and the OL has been sound. Once again, Nebraska will stack the box and make Denard beat them in the air. They need to run screens and short passes to get the WR's the ball and make plays. Every time Michigan plays, I see something new, tomorrow should not be different. Should be a dandy.


PSU at Ohio is interesting, two disfunctional teams off the field but should be interesting. Ohio has injuries but they should win in a close one.

Wisconsin shouldn't have trouble with Illinois but the Illini have not won in a while and this is their super bowl. It may be closer than expected.

Iowa at Purdue is interesting. Purdue can't stop the pass and Iowa can throw. Purdue in another upset.

Indiana at MSU is a joke right?

Minnesota at Northwestern will be an all out blowout. Cats roll!
