Twitter reactions from Michigan football defeating Nebraska
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan moved to 10-0 on the season after defeating Nebraska on Saturday, 34-3.
The Wolverines used the ground game to eat up the clock and control the game. The maize and blue ran for 264 yards and had 412 yards of total offense. J.J. McCarthy struggled to hit the deep balls once again, but not all was his fault. The receivers failed to separate themselves downfield which forced difficult throws.
The Michigan defense was a juggernaut on Saturday. It held Nebraska to 146 yards of offense. The Wolverines sacked the Cornhuskers’ signal-callers twice and Michigan found itself in the backfield most of the day — just didn’t bring down the quarterback.
Michigan was excellent in the red zone on Saturday. It reached the red zone four times and scored three touchdowns: Corum touchdown, McCarthy pass, and run.
Here are the best Twitter reactions from the Michigan win.

12 plays, 80 yards. Blake Corum touchdown.

Even I can see from Germany that a plant leg just got smoked by Nebraska but it’s called running into the kicker.

Jim Harbaugh knows how to recruit the tight end position, ladies and gentlemen.

With a touchdown today, #Michigan running back Blake Corum is the third Big Ten player over the last 15 seasons with at least one rush touchdown in their teams' first 10 games of the season (Rex Burkhead, Montee Ball) per @ESPNStatsInfo

Blake Corum (103 yards) has his 7th-straight 100+ yard game. Over 100 in every Big Ten game so far.

This is Blake Corum's 7th straight game with 100+ rush yards and a rush TD, the longest streak by a Michigan player over the last 25 seasons, per @ESPNStatsInfo He should absolutely be in Heisman discussion.

One of reasons I like Corum is b/c you KNOW he's coming at you. Their oline might be the best in the country. This is their identity. And yet .. there he goes again.
