The Wolverines have the better linebackers in this match up and the better overall defense. Michigan can concentrate on the run because they are 3rd in yards allowed passing. Nebraska can do the same, but that has not been a good thing as they are 92nd against the run this year. They gave up 63 points to Ohio State and Braxton Miller. Nebraska is allowing 4.8 ypc and are ranked 87th while Michigan is ranked 33rd. Michigan also has the advantage on third downs ranked 31st on defense and 15th on offense. Nebraska showed some flaws in their last game on third down only converting 21% and their defense is ranked 48th. More importantly they have allowed 100% of conference opponent red zone attempts to result in TD's. Michigan is stopping about half of those tries. That's huge in a game of this magnitude and I'll go with Michigan in the red zone here.
