The ultimate X-factor for Michigan against Nebraska, not named Bryce Underwood

Much of the talk heading into the showdown between Michigan football and Nebraska is centered on the two five-star quarterbacks, Bryce Underwood and Dylan Raiola.

Underwood was the No. 1 overall prospect and quarterback in 2025. Raiola was the No. 2 quarterback in 2024. It's the highest-rated QB matchup in the Big Ten since Justin Fields and Shea Patterson back in 2019.

Michigan lost that game. If it doesn't plan on losing this one, it's going to need more than a great game from Underwood, although that will certainly help. Expect Bryce to use his arm and his legs.
