Guess the Score - Nebraska Edition

Michigan 29 - 7 Corn-shuckers

31-10. Garbage time TD.

31-14 good guys 

31-6

34-13

27-6 Michigan

27-10 Michigan. Garbage time touchdown makes it closer than it appears. We're all still grouchy because we think the offense should look better

39-5*

Each team gets a safety

27-13. Very frustratingly close first half, probably 10-7 or 13-7 at the half, Nebraska’s defense makes a few big stops when Michigan gets very predictable on third down. Michigan let’s one big bust go for a score, tightens up after, and Michigan slowly pulls away in the second half.

Michigan hasn’t covered a spread yet against worse teams. I’m not betting they do it tomorrow on the road against a team with nothing to lose and desperate for it’s biggest win in maybe two decades.

38-10. BC gets two TDs working towards Michigan record.

38-10 Michigan. Wilson has 2 catches of 50+ yards and Harrell has another strip sack.

31-13 Book it.

30-9, Michigan. We end up disappointed in the score in the immediate aftermath but, weeks later, appreciate UNL as a truly solid defensive unit.

31-10 Mich 

38-7 Wolves. Go blue

30-10, Michigan 

35-28 Nebraska 

31-7

Last week I said 

34-10 Michigan, but it’s 14-7 at halftime and  *chicken little intensifies*

and that ended up being pretty accurate

So this week let’s go with 35-14 Michigan where a 1st Qtr turnover makes some butts clench but ultimately we dominate in the 3rd Qtr en route to garbage time 

21-10 Michigan. We go 3 and out alot because we keep running up the middle for 1.5 ypc but JJ gets 3 touchdowns, 2 in the air and one on the ground

29-15 M

31-6, just because 

41-3 M

Perkis is right on here. I'll go 26-13 just to have a different score. But the rationale is basically what I am thinking.

FTR, I am once again taking "opponent plus points" in the first half. 

34-7. JJ rolls, Edwards struggles, defense feasts, casuals yawn. 

29-12.   not scary, but not some kind of blow-out, either. 

38 - 10. First half is a little uncomfortable,  but the wheels fall off for Nebraska in the Second Half. Corum and the run game continue to round into form while Mccarthy has another solid outing on limited passes. The Defense gets chewed up a bit early on some annoying option plays, but dominates and forces multiple turnovers. 

At least one defensive/ST TD

At least one breakaway rushing TD

Two big-strike passing TDs

Two long-drive TDs

They get two sad field goals

42–6

29-3. 4 end zone sacks=4 safeties. 

37-13! Time for Orji?

Red zone frustration returns but our coaches take the points unlike ND or OSU. 16-7 good guys.

38 - Michigan

7 - Nebraska

Still can't get the shut out.

24-14 Michigan 

M 27-7. First road game.

26-20 Michigan

Mistakes, turnovers, heat

11 mini-Harbaughs 31, Corncobs 10

34-6 M.  Dono catches 5+ passes.  JJ 3 passing TD’s.  Corum 1 rushing TD.  Loveland, Dono & Wilson receiving TD’s.

The big question in my mind is will the 90 deg plus temps slow the game down. The wind will be blowing from south to north at 20-30 mph. Punting into the wind will really shorten the distance while really lengthen the down wind attempts. FG attempts will also be tricky. Those into the wind will be difficult past 30 yds while going for it 50 yds out with the wind is doable.

Anyway, 30-10, Michigan. Passing: 150-180 yds. Rushing 120-150 yds will be OK with me. No turnovers.

Let's get out of there healthy.

40-9 Michigan rolls through the cornfields of NE unscathed.

M 20-17 N  The "Pukering 2 Electric Boogaloo" game

Michigan wins a 22-16  sludge fest. Neb scores a garbage time TD and maybe even a FG at the gun to annoy everyone, everywhere.   

I'm having more wine. Cheers. 

Impressive. Wolverine in S. C. almost nailed it. Backups gave up another garbage TD. Edwards did not get into the End Zone.

I went 30-10 so they beat my expectations.
