The Road Ahead
Nebraska (3-3, 1-2 B1G)
Last week: Beat Northwestern, 56-7
Recap: There isn’t much onion to peel here. The most points they’ve scored under Scott Frost. More than doubling Northwestern’s offensive efficiency (8.9 yards per play vs. 4.4 for Northwestern). Explosive plays of 64, 70, and 83 yards. A 21-0 lead after 11 minutes, a 35-7 lead at halftime. Just an out-and-out thumping.
We talked about this when Maryland beat Illinois: it’s a proof of concept. For Maryland, it was the ability to follow up a couple of opening wins with something other than disaster. For Nebraska, it’s the idea that they can overwhelm Big Ten defenses by attacking the entire field horizontally and vertically, including using the quarterback in the run game, to win matchups in space.
The catch here is that Northwestern is very bad, but more than that, they are bad because they are a combination of unathletic and inexperienced that you rarely see in a Big Ten team. They were the perfect matchup for Nebraska. So if it wasn’t going to work here, it just wasn’t going to work. But they took advantage of that perfect matchup, so that’s not nothing.
This team is as frightening as: An adolescent hippopotamus. Somewhat clumsy and not entirely sure what it’s doing most of the time, but still very aggressive and territorial. Fear Level = 7
Michigan should worry about: 56 points!
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Against Northwestern.
When they play Michigan: Nebraska is 5-1 against the spread. And when the spread is 3 points, that’s particularly relevant.
Next game: vs. Michigan, 7:30 p.m., ABC (Nebraska +3)
