The Nebraska Cornhuskers had shown a dominating advantage on special teams throughout most of the season. Saturday Michigan capitalized on a couple of fumbles in the return game, a blocked punt, a fake field goal and a questionable roughing the kicker penalty to defeat Nebraska 45-17.
The Huskers lost the contest as well on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The Wolverines owned line play all afternoon. Denard Robinson was finally put back in the spread offense where he can be one of the most dynamic offensive players in the nation. Fitzgerald Toussaint ripped the Big Red on cutback runs as well.
LaVonte David was everywhere, but Michigan had more than enough answers for the Maize and Blue.
Nebraska faces Iowa Friday when the team will show if there is pride in the program. The Huskers need to play 60 minutes of complete football. Time to find out how much resiliency the 2011 Big Red football team has left in the tank.
Saturday was disappointing, but today it is time to move on. The Hawkeyes await.
