Nebraska comes to the Big House to face Michigan, in a Legends Division showdown. Nebraska's coming off a 17-14 road win against Penn St. Michigan returns home after a 31-14 win at Illinoins. The winner of this game, will still have a chance to win the Legends. Noon kickoff. Who you got?

Ill take Michigan by 7 in this one. Corralled a dual threat QB and shut a running game down this past week, I think we do it again

As long as MSU doesn't lay an egg against Indiana or Northwestern, I don't think Michigan has much of a shot to get in. They have to beat Nebraska and hope MSU loses the next 2 games. Possible, not probable.

This is a Legends division match-up.

I'm taking Nebraska by 10+. Michigan doesn't do well against ranked teams, even though they've only faced one this season and that was Michigan State.

Burkhead scares the shit out of me. If he can get past the Dline I don't think anyone can tackle him. Martin and RVB are going to have to match the way they played against Illinois.

Nebraska has been a hard team to figure out this season, they are not as good as a lot of people thought that they would be. They have played at times very poorly on both offense and defense, this gives Michigan hope. The talent is probably a little in Nebraska's favor but playing in Ann Arbor cancels that advantage out. If Michigan has a healthy Denard and turns him loose then they have a good chance to win. I don't think that will happen, he will continue to struggle in Hoke's offense and Nebraska sneaks out of town with a 31-24 victory.

Nebraska has struggled a bit with mobile QBs, which is unusual since they see one every day. Wilson, Colter/Persa, Miller all had success finding some running lanes when the routes were covered. Their defense really was built/recruited to handle the spread/pocket passing of the Big 12 and it has shown at times. They almost shut out a MSU team where the QB isn't mobile. This gives michigan hope.

I still think Nebraska can control the clock and grind out a win with Burkhead carrying the team on his back.

Nebraska 27
Michigan 17

Here's hoping the black shirts thoroughly "tenderize" UM in preparation for the OSU game. :D

firstly it is not hard to win at Michigan and that is why we were all so pissed at rr. hoke came in to a spread system which we all know he does not like and yet they already won 8 games RR is flat out a bad coach and was a huge mistake. I personally do not care about this game as the big one is next week. 9-3 is much better with a win over osu than Nebraska IMO.

If Robinson is not going to look to run, they might as well let put Gardner under center
