Luke Gifford - DE


Prediction:
Not a great team but not totally awful either. Whether Adrian Martinez will play or not is going to make a lot of difference for the Huskers, although the end result may be the same. Their offensive line has not been good (plus their left tackle is 250lbs) and without Martinez, they shouldn't be able to use our DLines success off the line against them. I don't have much to go in on this week in regards to Nebraska, they aren't great, they aren't awful. They're all around "meh".

I'm rolling with a Martinez plays prediction of 35-21 Michigan and, if he does not which I expect;

Michigan wins 38-10

This years predictions:

Week 1: Michigan/Notre Dame 24-13 (17-24 actual)
Week 2: Michigan/Western Michigan 48-10 (49-3 actual)
Week 3: Michigan/SMU 55-0 (45-20 actual)
