I am a Husker fan and alum. I watch every Husker game, and I think the smart play is Michigan or nothing in this one. The only real advantage I see here is Nebraska is at home, and Robinson has struggled away from The Big House in prime time this year, granted he played two top defenses in Alabama and Notre Dame. Nebraska's defense will be nowhere near that caliber. If Bo Pelini had a gameplan to stop mobile QB's, he would've used it a long time ago. In the past two years, Nebraska is just 2-8 ATS when the opposing QB has 10 or more rushing attempts. Those two covers came against bad Minnesota and Southern Mississippi teams, otherwise the Huskers have not covered against every other mobile QB they have faced, including a 45-17 drubbing in Ann Arbor last year. Even if Pelini had a gameplan to contain Robinson, Nebraska's LB's and safeties would still need to wrap-up in space, something that they have had trouble doing all season.

If you are betting on Nebraska, you are basically pinning your hopes on Dennard Robinson making a lot of mistakes, because that is the only way I can see Nebraska taking this one.

I would like Michigan if Hoke and the OC would let shoelace do his thing instead of having Robinson trying to run a more conventional pro style/read offense. Having Robinson run this type of offense is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
