NCAAF Twitter reactions to Nebraska’s loss to Michigan
The No. 3 team in the country took care of business on Saturday afternoon as the Michigan Wolverines defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 31-3. Michigan improved to 10-0 on the season, with the Huskers falling to 3-7 with two games remaining.
Nebraska’s offense struggled, only gaining 147 yards on the day. Injuries also stalled the offense, with starting Chubba Purdy and offensive coordinator Mark Whipple both suffering injuries during the first half. Logan Smothers came in in relief but struggled, going 4 for 8 for 15 yards.
Nebraska’s defense also had its problems. The Wolverine offense lived up to its billing as one of the best running teams in the country, with 264 yards on the ground, with star running back Blake Corum gaining 162 of those yards.
With seven losses on the season, Nebraska will miss a bowl game for another year as they have not played in the postseason since the 2016 Music City Bowl. Below are Twitter reactions to Nebraska’s 31-3 loss at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines. Scroll down to find more.
Next Nebraska head coach has to have a solid plan on how to build excellence in trenches. Michigan flexed in a big way. Controlled game. Bullied Nebraska at times. Wolverines prevail 34-3, and I’ll take them to beat Ohio State. Jim Harbaugh’s OL is big and ornery. 🏈

Logan Smothers has been banged up for two weeks, Mickey Joseph said of his situation going into this game. "He's a tough kid."
Chubba Smothers suffered a high-ankle sprain.

"Recruiting. We have to recruit better," Joseph said of where the #Huskers have to close the gap. "We have to recruit better as a staff, and we will."

Mickey Joseph said the team has to show pride and can’t quit over the remaining two games.
It’s Wisconsin at home next week before rival Iowa.

Mickey Joseph says Casey Thompson didn’t make the trip because he still has some nerve loss in his pinky. Joked Casey probably already have texted him saying he’s ready to go for Wisconsin.

You wanna hurdle a guy, you risk being propelled skyward by your own nuts and landing on your head.

Wow, Nebraska’s football program has covered about every possible story line over its history. The stories used to be good back in the day…now we lose 2 QBs, our only play caller, and it just feels about normal…
