Sound waves: What others are saying about Michigan's win against Nebraska

Behind enemy lines

What those in the opposing locker room said:

Defensive end Chase Winovich: "It just seemed like they really didn't want to be out there at some points."

Safety Josh Metellus: “After the first series, when we went back out there, we just knew they wanted to give up. You could just see it in their eyes. It's not anything I can really put into words (but) you could tell by the way a receiver is running his route, or the way you get blocked or the type of passion they're playing with. We just sensed they didn't have it so we used it to our advantage.”

Running back Karan Higdon: "It was great, we came out fast and strong. We jumped on them quick. We made a statement today."

Linebacker Devin Bush: (On Frost's comments while at UCF) "We really took that to heart, and, we wanted to make a statement."

Scanning the wires

What other media outlets are saying:

This was an absolute annihilation. This was a total mess — for Nebraska. This was a Frosty melting on the sideline. Michigan dominated the line of scrimmage, dominated on defense and simply demolished the Huskers. Overall, it was a tremendous performance by the Wolverines. They made a big statement to open Big Ten play and took a huge step forward, especially the offensive line. Clearly, this was not your father’s Nebraska, which couldn't have played much worse. Michigan looked faster, stronger and simply better than the Huskers all across the field. Even Michigan's backups dominated. “This could get worse before it gets better,” Nebraska coach Scott Frost, talking about the culture change going on within his program, told Sports Illustrated days before the game. By that, I think he meant, muffing a punt. Or, maybe, roughing a punt returner.
