Not necessarily.

Underwood will have started three games by that point, lived through whatever he lives through in Norman and at this point I still think OU has a better overall roster than we do. Now I could go position by position and find exceptions without, and as much as Rhule still has a ways to go before he’s proven to be a championship coach, he’s better than Venables in my mind. Add to that the fact that Lincoln isn’t exactly the nearly impossible road win it was.

All that said, I think we have a shot due to Underwood’s youth and their head coach.

I agree with this take and curious what your thought process is.

That's why ideally it'd have been better if Michigan didn't have to go into a hostile environment before he comes to Lincoln. Presumably will be better prepared for the trip to Lincoln after going to Norman. And, like you said I believe OU's roster probably has more talent overall than us.

That trip to Norman could play out either way for Underwood & team chemistry and by extension, us.

He goes in there drops a deuce, Michigan gets rolled and he’s maybe got confidence problems with just a home game agaisnt Central Michigan left to right the ship. He plays well and is part of why Michigan wins and that likely makes our life harder on the 20th.

I don’t know anything about the young man, but road games to Norman and Lincoln over a three week span is a lot to ask a kid that turned 18 in August. He’s got a grad transfer behind him that’s basically a statue, but is serviceable in the passing game, so if he’s totally rattled we might see him sit a series here and there.

I say all this knowing full well the ‘normal’ metric on Freshman quarterbacks doesn’t ever seem to apply to Nebraska opponents. They can somehow just light it up like they’re fifth year seniors.

I dont really lean one way of the other. I am very skeptical of Venebles. So I dont trust that OU will win just because its at home.

If OU losses, I think its the first step to being fired at the end of this year. Tehir schedule is tough. OU has been too good the past 2 decades, It would be nice to see OU go through a few coaching carousels.

On the other hand, its Michigan. After last season, I dont want them to get any more momentum. Losing would be nice to maybe prove that Moore is not the guy. If OU and NU beats them, that could lead to a rough season.

More importantly, do we want Michigan to be undefeated when they come to Lincoln, or do we want the cheaters to lose because...they're arrogant cheaters a.k.a. Michigan?

I think OU wins. As much as it pains me, I'm hoping Michigan squeaks out a win and looks terrible doing it.

I think OU wins, but I hope Bitchigan wins.

Yuck, but I'm also OK with it. Never been so confused on who I want to lose more.

Just hope OU plays physical as hell.

Yeah, many M fans are arrogant asses.

All my cousins on my dad's side are Michigan alums. But they're very cool...although every once in a great while something snarky or arrogant will come out of their mouths.

Considering everything, my cousins are classy about the Michigan/Nebraska series.

No idea who will win but you're not gonna catch me rooting for Michigan. They could be squaring off against Art Briles at Baylor I'd be on the fence.

Not a Michigan fan, but less of an SEC fan. I also want Michigan undefeated when we beat them.

Michigan. I believe Michigan imposes its will in the trenches, and Haynes has a night. OU won't be able to establish a run game and will have to be one-dimensional. That is never good when facing a defense like Michigan. OU's venue is overrated and not that loud whatsoever. Underwood will be fine. The end of Venables is going to be beautiful to watch.

Undefeated Michigan vs an undefeated Nebraska on CBS week 4.

Game wasn’t nearly as close as the scoreboard indicated. Michigan’s three scoring drives were a big run, an OU muffed punt, and an under thrown ball that the mich wr made a great catch on. Their offense blows and their secondary didn’t look that great.

Agreed. I was at a wedding, so I didn't see much of the game live, but it sure seemed pretty one-sided. I'm feeling a lot better about the Michigan game next week than I was before. Hopefully, we won't lay an egg.
