The Michigan football team dropped its season opener to Notre
Dame, falling to the No. 12 Fighting Irish, 24-17. The following two
weeks featured dominating performances by the Wolverines, who
notched wins over Western Michigan (49-3) and SMU (45-20). This
week, an 0-2 Nebraska team travels to Ann Arbor in search of its first
win of the season in the Big Ten opener. The matchup will end the
three-game home stretch at Michigan Stadium, as the Wovlerines
travel to Maryland next Saturday.

The Daily breaks down how the
Wolverines will fare against Nebraska.
Notre Dame (Sept. 1): Touchdown Jesus?
Where is Touchdown Moses?
Western Michigan (Sept. 8): Tim LESS-ter.
Wisconsin (Oct. 13): There’s no “I” in Chryst.
Michigan State (Oct. 20): The Michigan Daily
has beaten the State News 13 years in a row.
Penn State (Nov. 3): The App State game gave
us flashbacks even without the 7,000 replays
on BTN.
SMU (Sept. 15): Sonny Yikes!
Rutgers (Nov. 10): Seriously, someone needs
to drain the hot tub.
Nebraska (Sept. 22): Nebraska is undeniably
the worst state to drive through.
Northwestern (Sept. 29): No. No one cares
that you went to Medill. Crawl back in your hole.
Maryland (Oct. 6): They need more swing sets
in College Park.
Ohio State (Nov. 24): Brett XcXurphy
Indiana (Nov. 17): We spent 5 minutes debat-
ing who their coach was.
