Harbaugh took his foot off the gas or it could have been much worse.
Michigan served up a reality check for the Husker hopeful. SMQ, Urban Meyer and Will Compton all saw a much closer game, but Michigan let their players do the talking. Jim Harbaugh's crew looked like Tom Osborne teams of the 90's. Dominance on both sides of the ball, elite runners and a quarterback who is extremely accurate completing 80% of his passes coupled with a dominant defense made for a long afternoon in Lincoln. Rebuilds are like renovating a home. It always takes longer than you think. But the soft underbelly of the schedule lies ahead so the possibility of a bowl game is intact.
