Michigan hardly missed Sherrone Moore in Week 3, the first of his self-imposed two-game suspension for NCAA violations, as the Wolverines rolled to a 63-3 win over Central Michigan with former Charlotte head coach Biff Poggi filling in on an interim basis. However, at the end of the first half in Lincoln, Nebraska, in Week 4, Poggi’s glaring mistake gave the Cornhuskers a touchdown.
Leading 17-10, Michigan seemingly derailed Nebraska’s two-minute drive before the intermission, sacking Dylan Raiola on 1st-and-10 to back up the Huskers to the 35-yard line. Nebraska ran the ball twice to make up most of the sack yardage, but Poggi opted not to call a timeout, allowing Nebraska to run the clock down to one second remaining for 4th-and-11 from its own 48-yard line.
