Things discussed:
- Nebraska is in Year Zero: don't take this game too seriously
- Michigan's offensive identity: Down G? The thing about Down G is if the LB reads it right the defense has it dead to rights
- The Down G wrinkles keep it viable. Bubble screen off Down G action and Jet Sweep and Flaring a TE
- Dylan McCaffrey has grown up a lot at Michigan—good to see his arm gets downfield
- Nebraska's pass rush is the worse we'll face.
- Warinner/Ruiz effect: unblocked guys not getting through as much. Stopping the Gaz is another matter
- The officials: A lot of curious calls. O'Neill Crew calls a facemask thanks to replay guy.
- Craig says the safety call was correct (made by someone upstairs) because what if someone catches it? Throwing is directing it not establishing possession.
- Targeting/Not Targeting: Hudson puts his helmet in the QB's chest. Sam thinks last week wasn't this week was because he's leading with the head (does facemask count?). Two NFL quarterbacks got freak injuries so you can't hit low on the quarterback now. They totally missed the very real targeting on Ben Mason
- NW: Clayton Thorson is the Mitch Leidner of this year's Big Ten. The Gaz. "Paddy Fisher."
- Nick Bosa: Is he going to take the whole year off, or just every game but The one?
- Brian had a daughter in the middle of preview season and forgot to tell anybody
