Nebraska Post Game

Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports

Michigan hit the road for the first time this year and came away with a dominant victory.   The Wolverines had gotten a little sloppy in a few areas at home over the last month.  The focus and execution ratcheted up a notch and JJ and Blake got to watch a quarter and half from the sidelines.  With every game, there are cheers and jeers so let's get to them. 

Cheers:

• 0 Penalties
• 0 Turnovers 
• 8-13 on 3rd Down
• JJ's was 12/16 with a QBR of 99.2
• JJ was only hit a couple times
• Both lines A+
• Roman Wilson with a crazy highlight TD catch 
• Liked to see Darrius Clemons with 2 catches 
• Same with AJ Barner
• Mullings is now a really good power back
• Josaiah Stewert with 2 sacks
• Ken Grant with a nice interception
• Brandon McGregor had a good game
• Derrick Moore had a good game
• Starting Defense with another great effort/shutout
• Playing well in 93 degree and high winds

Jeers:

• Defense kept getting beat on the same crossing route play
• The 74-yard TD run on the 2nd team defense
• Tyler Morris muffed a punt but got it back and made a nice return

When JJ plays well this offense goes from good to great.  He was confident and threw dimes all around the field.  His TD run was also good read.  Raise your hand if you yelled at your TV when he started to run after the 1st down line, "SLIDE or run for touch down!"  😀 I sure did. 

Michigan will need to keep the focus as they travel to Twin Cities on Saturday night to play for the Little Brown Jug next week. 

Big Ten Thoughts:

• MSU showed some heart against Iowa and could've won that game.  
• Cade seems to have a serious leg injury 
• All had his best game in 2 years
• Cade's backup looked like an offensive tackle
• Penn State struggled for a half against NW which is surprising 
• Purdue blew out Illinois?
• Minnesota again struggled but won against Louisiana
