Turning point: The way Nebraska head coach tells it, the Huskers might not have competed with No. 19 Michigan on this day regardless. But what looked like a touchdown from Adrian Martinez to JD Spielman tuned into an interception when the ball was batted at the line of scrimmage.
Six plays later, Nebraska trailed 7-0 instead of leading 7-0. It was all downhill from there.
It was over when: It’s hard not to say it was over when the Huskers arrived at the Big House, but let’s push at least past kickoff. NU had nothing going offensively or defensively, but finally stopped the Wolverines deep in their own territory and forced a potentially field-flipping punt.
