Nebraska vs Michigan: Raiola vs Underwood, Houseman Returns, and the ONE Thing NU Must Do

HATE WEEK. We’re talking how Nebraska can rock a juiced Memorial Stadium and make Michigan feel it early. Yes, we said it: punch them in the mouth. ▶ What’s inside: We start with Michigan’s offense—freshman QB Bryce Underwood (live arm, legit runner) and RB Justin Haynes (big-play merchant) vs Nebraska’s pressure looks. We get into why Underwood’s efficiency craters under heat and why NU’s third-down defense could flip the game. Then Michigan’s defense: the Ernest Hausmann storyline, how they blitz, where they’re gettable, and why NU may need quick-game and Emmett Johnson in space instead of stubborn downhill stuff. We drop one spicy fact about Michigan’s special teams quirk (punt returns) and then rip through prop bets—Raiola vs Underwood total yards, Emmett vs Haynes all-purpose, third-down battle, and who leads NU in receiving.
