Just like a loud noise can start an avalanche, one play can set a blowout in motion.
Just before the unequivocal domination over the Cornhuskers in a 56-10 rout Saturday, Michigan allowed Nebraska’s Stanley Morgan Jr. to win a 32-yard jump ball from freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez. The Scott Frosts were on the move on their first drive.
Morgan leapt over Brandon Watson and Josh Metellus for the ball. On the next play, Metellus slammed the door, picking off his second pass of the year and announcing the beginning of the maize and blue avalanche coming Nebraska’s way.
