Now the season really starts. Thoughts so far:

I am not saying Nebraska cant lose, just that people are acting like our rush defense is going to be giving up like 400 yards. If that the case the seasons over, lol. No reason to worry about anything for 2025.

If the rush defense has issues, its more likely that its a little leaky but if our offense is able to dictate the pace maybe it doesnt matter. The offense would have to play better then they did vs Cincinnati, but it seems like people aren't even considering that possibility.

I get what you're saying. I think most of us are questioning if Dylan and this offense is really that good yet?
Everything was open the last 2 games and I actually thought Dylan could of been more accurate even though his stats were incredible.
Michigan is another animal on the line of scrimmage. WR's will be hit off routes and windows will close fast.
Question I have is can Dylan take over a game when needed yet?

If the defense fails and run game stalls. Can he earn that pay check yet? He would hold the coaches accountable if he was and all else failed.

Man I'm gonna take heat for this.

Recipe seems pretty simple. Jam it in their holes and make Underwood throw.

If we can keep Dylan upright and at least maintain some threat of a running game, we are golden. Otherwise Michigan's going to stuff it down our throats repeatedly and I don't think our front 7 will hold up.

I think that's what I'm ultimately most concerned about. There's been all this talk lately about 'balance means being able to run when we want to and pass when we want to', but I don't think we've got an offense that can run when we want to. I'm still seeing us as a team that can move the ball well between the 20s but struggles to turn trips to the red zone into touchdowns.

Michigan's got their flaws too, but I feel like that one could be the game decider.
