SMQ: Michigan Puts the Hammer Down on the Huskers

Jim Harbaugh took his foot off the gas or it could have been much worse for Nebraska

Michigan served up a reality check for the Husker hopeful. Sunday Morning Quarterback, Urban Meyer and Will Compton all expected a much closer game, but Michigan let its players do the talking. Jim Harbaugh's crew looked like Tom Osborne teams of the '90s. Dominance on both sides of the ball, elite runners and a quarterback who is extremely accurate completing 80% of his passes coupled with a dominant defense made for a long afternoon in Lincoln. Rebuilds are like renovating a home. It always takes longer than you think. But the soft underbelly of the schedule lies ahead, so the possibility of a bowl game for the Huskers is intact.
