Husker CornCast: (Michigan) Battle of the Mobile QB's

by William Grubb on Nov 16, 2011 8:06 PM CST in Nebraska Football Podcast

Nebraska has already taken down one of the Michigan schools (Michigan State); now can they take down the Wolverines on the road?

Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb are joined by Brian Cook of Michigan football website MGoblog.com, to discuss if either of the mobile QBs (Denard Robinson and Taylor Martinez) will be able to amount a passing game against each other's defense. They discuss the difference head coach Brady Hoke has made on the Wolverines suddenly imposing defense, and why Michigan is ranked 5th in total defense in the nation.

Tune in for the predictions by Brian and both Will and Jake, for you might be in for a surprise.

Nice job guys (love the play in music)

This is one of those games that I don’t touch with a 10 foot pole if I’m a bettor.

Concerns:
-Back to back road wins over top 15 teams are really really rare.
-Injuries continue to pile up for us worse than average it seems
-The PSU game was exhausting for our players both mentally and physically
-I honestly think if Borges throws strategy to the wind and lets Robinson loose, we’re toast

Happy thoughts:
-Martinez is really rounding into form and our offense is becoming more balanced
-Michigan’s defense may be improved, but no one would mistake them for PSU or MSU
-Nebraska is by far the more battle tested team
-Nebraska at their best is far better than the best Michigan’s shown this year (example: NU’s best would be the 24-3 win over Sparty while Michigan’s best game would probably be that miracle win over Notre Dame).

Overall, I don’t know what to expect, at all. I have no doubt Nebraska is capable of winning, but this strikes me as a game where we absolutely must bring our A game in order to get it done. In light of everything going on, I’m not sure we’re going to be able to do that. It’s a fun, high stakes game, because the winner could very well be punching their ticket to the BCS, which for both of these teams, would be a big f’ing deal.
