Blake Frazier of BetOnline.com offered this analysis pertaining to Nebraska:
“Nebraska really manned up last weekend and gutted out a tough 17-14 win at Penn State. Nebraska’s players faced a unique emotional challenge due to all the distractions surrounding the contest. The week of controversy and tumult connected to the firing of head coach Joe Paterno made it difficult for Nebraska to focus on football, but the Huskers did exactly that.
“One week after showing such composure on the road, traveling to Michigan for a much more “normal” road game shouldn’t be as daunting as it might have seemed a few weeks ago. Nebraska will be calm and centered for this game; such an emotional disposition puts the Huskers in great position to win.”
Frazier notes that both quarterbacks are flawed and have their limitations but that Michigan should have the edge here at home, albeit a slight edge.
Nebraska’s only loss this season by more than the current spread was to Wisconsin. Two weekends ago they were upset by Northwestern, a +17.5 road dog, losing by 3 points.
