Essentials WHAT #2 Michigan (4-0) vs Nebraska (2-2) WHERE Memorial Stadium Lincoln, NE WHEN 3:35 Eastern THE LINE M –17 (Vegas) M -22 (Bill C) TELEVISION FOX PBP: Jason Benetti Color: Brock "Why Aren't You Robbie Hummel" Huard TICKETS From $34. WEATHER mostly sunny 15 mph win mid 90s(!?!?) Overview Scott Frost has been reduced to Ryan Day's speechwriter and Matt Rhule has taken over. Rhule is a fantastic hire for Nebraska. He's resurrected Temple and Baylor; he seems like a legitimately good dude; he's yoinked the starting quarterback and inserted an in-state dude named "Heinrich" who's running 20 times a game in a bid to placate the football gods still wroth at the Bill Callahan era. Good things are coming for Nebraska. Just not, like, you know, now. This is a year zero situation if there ever was one. Rhule had to import Jeff Sims, a Georgia Tech quarterback who thinks that uniforms are fascism, man, and that throwing to the guys in the same ones you're wearing is totally reductive, yo. Can the Subaltern intercept? YES, JEFF. YES. IT APPEARS SO. Anyway. That guy's on the bench and Nebraska is assembling a defense out of the trinitite that remained from last year's Michigan game. They're gonna give it a go. It's going to take another year or three to get up to speed. [AFTER THE JUMP: REJOICE IN THE RESTORATION OF A COLLEGE FOOTBALL TRADITION]
