The undefeated Michigan Wolverines will continue their dominance in 2022 as they host the downtrodden Nebraska Cornhuskers. Michigan has steamrolled the competition this season, with their closest margin of victory being seven points against the Maryland Terrapins. The Cornhuskers, on the other hand, are looking to end this woeful season. Do the Cornhuskers have any shot at upsetting the formidable Wolverines?

The heart and soul of the Wolverines' offense has to be RB Blake Corum. Corum punishes the defense with a punishing rushing style. Averaging six yards per carry and finding the end zone a mind-boggling 16 times, a case can be made that Blake Corum is the top natural runner in all of College Football.
Donovan Edwards is a fine back in his own right, averaging 6.7 yards per carry, but Edwards serves in a complementary role to Corum's workload.
QB J.J. McCarthy does an excellent job of keeping the Wolverines' offense on schedule. McCarthy's numbers won't wow you, but the stability that he brings to the position is what college coaches are looking for. McCarthy will also contribute with his legs as the third-leading rusher on the team with 200 yards and two rushing scores.
If the Wolverines have to open up the offense, their primary target is WR Ronnie Bell. Bell only found the end zone once in 2022, but his 500+ receiving yards resulted in him moving the chains.
