Disappointing half. I'm not sure we can come back 2nd half. Got kicked in the teeth quite a bit - a lot for a young team.

Michigan is clearly the better team. However, we had chances early to score and just didn't take advantage of them.
Sadly, I think the staff is fearful of the offense, specifically the OL, not being able to perform as well against this defense.
As good as the Nebraska defense is, going conservative/playing field position, etc is not all that bad. It's just they can't be expected to score as well. I'm not sure at this point, the offense can score without getting a really short field right now.
If they are going to keep running up the middle, try Yant. Maybe try down field more but the OL isn't giving any time.
Need a special teams or defensive score.
Michigan has impressed me more than OU or MSU. Both lines are extremely good. If UM had a better set of backs and receivers, they might be an NC contender this year.
I felt AM could have used his legs several times and didn't. Offense needs to start producing something - open it up! These refs are some of the worst I've ever seen - that PI against Dolman was as bad a call as I've seen in a while. They ran into each other and the QB htrew it 10 yards over everybody's head - Wilt couldn't have caught it.
