The Michigan Wolverines beat Nebraska like they stole something on Saturday. Entering the contest, the Cornhuskers had the top rushing offense and defense among all Power Five teams, but by the end of the afternoon, Nebraska wasn’t even controlling corn-centric touchdown celebrations, let alone the line of scrimmage.
Schematically, it was a clinic for the Wolverines on both sides of the ball for the majority of the game. The defense played with proper alignment, leverage and discipline, while the offense was balanced, creative and imposing. In a 45-7 victory, more stood out than we had time to break down, but these were three of my favorites from Saturday’s statement win.
