Hello, everybody, and welcome to a new episode of Behind Enemy Lines.

I'm your host Alejandro Suniga here from the Michigan Insider, Michigan.247Sports.com.

On Behind Enemy Lines, we take an in-depth look at the Michigan football team's upcoming opponent

with a beat reporter who covers that program.

And this week, the Wolverines begin Big Ten play on the road.

It's a 3.30 p.m. Eastern, 2.30 p.m. Central kickoff at Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.

And we're going to go ahead and dive right in to what the Cornhuskers have to offer

as they are seeking their first victory over a ranked opponent since 2016.

Should be a fun game out in Lincoln, excited to get out there. But first,

let's dive right into the Cornhuskers. Our guest for this week's episode of Behind Enemy Lines

is Brian Christensen, who covers Nebraska over at Husker 24-7, part of our 24-7 sports network.

Brian, let's go ahead and dive right into the Cornhuskers.

Nebraska is 3-0, entering with wins over Cincinnati, 20 to 17, in front of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey and the whole rest of the world, then finish their non-conference slate

by dominating Akron and Houston Christian in ways that good teams are supposed to do.

Matt Rule is in year three. That is of course notable because Matt Rule has won at least 10 games in year three at his previous stops in college at both Temple and at Baylor. So this game feels like a good litmus test both for Michigan and for Nebraska.

If Nebraska is going to be that 10 win team team, take the next step. And if Michigan

is going to rebound after a loss at a very good team in Oklahoma and winning against two

overmatched non-conference teams, take us, Brian, into the Nebraska perspective. How big of a game

is this welcoming in a ranked opponent and a chance for Matt Rule to get that signature win in year three.

Yeah, it's rather large because Nebraska hasn't beaten a ranked team, I think, in 27 games it's at now.

I'm certain, I lose track.

I can't count that high.
