Jim Harbaugh returned to the sideline last week after a three-game suspension, and it was business as usual for Michigan.
The Wolverines earned a 31-7 win over Rutgers in another dominant defensive showcase. While Michigan hasn't faced high-level competition yet, no opponent has scored more than seven points against the Wolverines this season. Is Nebraska built to snap that streak?
The Cornhuskers are coming off back-to-back wins but haven't looked the part against tougher competition this season. Nebraska has more questions than answers at the quarterback position, though recent improvement by the running game has gotten Matt Rhule's offense moving a bit.
Even at home, it will be an uphill battle for Nebraska to pull off the upset against title-hopeful Michigan. With Blake Corum hitting his stride out of the Wolverines' backfield and a defense that could give the Cornhuskers problems from start to finish, Michigan has a strong chance to coast into its Week 9 bye unscathed.
A win over Nebraska would take Harbaugh's group one step closer to its goals.

Michigan has won its last three matchups with Nebraska and is favored to extend that streak to four.
The Cornhuskers, who last took down the Wolverines in 2013, have yet to pick up a win against a Power Five opponent this season, but they found some success in the running game over the last two weeks and have the benefit of home-field advantage.
