Commits, targets predict outcome between Michigan football vs. Nebraska

Michigan will enter Nebraska on Saturday looking to get its first road win of the 2025 season. The Wolverines took it on the chin in Week 2 when they traveled to face Oklahoma. While Nebraska isn't likely going to be as talented as the Sooners are, it's still going to be a tough environment to play in.

The Wolverines opened up their offense last week in a blowout win over CMU. Bryce Underwood threw for over 200 yards and rushed for over 100 with three total scores. Chip Lindsey will look to keep the talented signal caller loose and allow his playmaking ability to take over.

Nebraska has started out the year 3-0, but its last two wins came against Akron and Houston Christian. This will be the Huskers' first true challenge, but both teams are searching for a statement win as Big Ten play begins.

I asked different Michigan targets and commits what they expect to happen in the showdown between the Wolverines and Cornhuskers.
