Tale of the Tape: Nebraska vs. Michigan

Tale of the Tape: Nebraska vs. Michigan

This Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a Big Ten East/West crossover matchup against the Wolverines. Nebraska enters the game with 3-6 overall and 2-4 in the Big Ten. Michigan enters as the No. 3 ranked team in the country with a 9-0 record on the season and a 5-0 mark in the Big Ten Conference.

The Cornhuskers have their backs against the wall as they’ll need to win the final three games of the regular season (@ Michigan, vs. Wisconsin, @ Iowa) to become bowl eligible. Nebraska has not played in a postseason game since the 2016 Music City Bowl.

The Michigan offense is anchored by one of the best running games in the country. The Wolverines sit a No. 4 rushing offense in the nation with 250 rushing yards a game. Only Air Force, Army, and Ole Miss can boast better running games.

Kickoff for Nebraska and Michigan will be on ABC on Saturday, November 12, at 2:30 pm. Scroll below for a look at the Series History between Michigan and Nebraska.
