Michigan is undefeated, pocketed a win at Wisconsin, and now goes on the road for a night game at Nebraska.
Sitting at 5-0 after a 38-17 victory over the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, Michigan showed a more balanced offense with some aggressive play-calling, and its defense was swarming, coming up with six sacks and an interception. The Wolverines didn’t allow a second-half score until the final 32 seconds.
A week earlier, the Wolverines allowed Rutgers to threaten, but the defense forced a fumble and sealed the game. The Badgers shifted momentum late in the first half after the Wolverines had built a 13-3 lead, but the Michigan defense, which had held the Badgers to four-straight three-and-outs to start the game, stiffened and became more aggressive in the second half.
