Game Thread: Nebraska @ Michigan

[HuskerOC]

Big game for both teams with bowl game implications on the line. Neither team is out of the Legends division race just yet, and this one will go a long ways in clearing up that picture.

Both teams are a bit banged up, and both teams have shown some major weaknesses this year. Which team steps up and overcomes?

Huskers in the Big House. Damn I wish I was there.

Go Huskers.

I see a Huskers loss today. I think Michgan will over power the huskers. 42-28 Michigan

Nebraska is bad up-front in pass protection and defensively. It only takes a slightly above average team 'physically' to expose it.

Nebraska will have to rush to close to it's season average (260 ypg) to win today. Michigan's only real strength is stopping the run.

Michigan aren't world beaters, but they are above average physically. Add in playing at home in the Big House and they should cover the 6.5/7.

Ha Ha

I had to look because I couldn't remember.

I've got Michigan for 6 points.

This game is the perfect opportunity for Michigan to show the country they are not as bad as they looked last week and they will come out with that in mind.

Michigan covers the spread.

Taking Michigan and laying the 6 1/2 for a little.

Huge game for Bo and Co. Bo typically falls flat on his face in big moments. Fully expecting the same to happen this time around even if Michigan isn't all that good.

I think Scott Frost might be on his way to Lincoln before the final gun goes off.

Won't happen.

While Frost is a "Husker" guy, he isn't ready to be a Head Coach yet. Too risky, and our new AD has different connections.

While I think he'll be a great coach at some point in time, it isn't a for sure reality.

If we get a new coach next year, it will be a guy with some Head Coaching experience and not another coordinator.

I'll take your word for it. My point was this game would be the final nail in Bo's coffin.

Bo can lose this one and still keep his job as long as it isn't in embarrassing fashion.

The real keys to him keeping his job are home games against Michigan State and Iowa. Particularly Iowa. He has to beat Iowa at home or he is for sure gone.

With Michigan's house in total disarray, I am certainly not banging on yours but do you really think Bo has a chance with a (relatively) new AD in town? It certainly looks like he is gone unless you guys can pull off a (another) miracle and make it to the CCG.

isn't Michigans quarterback al banged up? If he's hurt this game goes to Nebraska.

Pretty tight lipped about it but it doesn't seem he has anything serious wrong. Nothing that a few open passing and running lanes shouldn't cure. Should be a very wide open game and, as usual, whoever takes care of the ball best will come out on top.

The most common train of thought in Nebraska seems to be if there is any chance Pelini will get it done then it is better to give him that shot then to start all over. Personally I don't think he can do it.

Eichorst is playing it smart, he is in know way showing any type of support for Pelini but not speaking against him at this point either.

What it comes down to is what the money thinks. Anther blowout and I would think they will have to think he needs to go.
