The 18th ranked Michigan Wolverines (8-2, 4-2) will play their biggest football game of the season on Saturday when they host # 16 Nebraska (8-2, 4-2). The game will kickoff at noon and be televised on ESPN. U-M has lost 5 straight home games to ranked opponents and this is a chance for a statement win.
