The N Stands for Knockout (Michigan 45, Nebraska 17)
I didn’t think anyone put a hand on Fitz all day but he somehow ended up with Herbie Husker blood on his shoulder pads. The beat down was complete. Three phases. Best team performance since Tebow got served in the 2008 Capital One Bowl. Denard seemed to get that extra gear back and was comfortable in the pocket and for the most part made sound decisions. The defense ranks squarely in the top 20 in the country, and inside the top 10 in scoring defense. That numb feeling you’ve had each of the past few seasons is gone. That fear that the young men donning the maize and blue can’t get better as the season moves to November is fading. They’re not only better they are, remarkably, kind of badass. Wow. What else can you say? Ok, fine, some nitpicks: Losing Contain. This team is still has the occasional breakdown defending the run on the corner. It’s about contain and 1-2-3: 1) maintain leverage, 2) keep outside arm free, 3) force runner inside. I’m available for a demonstration, suckers. Half Management. It didn’t come up in the postgame (and why would it?) but the clock end of the half was poorly managed. After all the screw ups we still held a timeout at midfield, why not take a shot at…

TWIMFbH: Buckeye Fumblerooski Fails, Wolverines Prevail (1983)
You know that the Cornhuskers are associated with one of the most famous plays in college football history– the fumblerooski. Is it possible that Nebraska coach Tom Osborne was inspired by Ohio State’s Earle Bruce to call that play in the ‘84 Orange Bowl?? You be the judge. This time we take a look back at the Michigan-Ohio game 28 seasons ago, played on November 19, 1983. As always, you can listen to it out before the KeyBank Countdown to Kick-off on WTKA 1050AM tomorrow, or click play now: [display_podcast] – You can hear all of the This Week… clips here. And here’s the ‘84 Nebraska fumblerooski – pure gold:
