Nebraska has lost its first two football games, including a 24-19 loss to Troy last week, and now has to go on the road to play 19th-ranked Michigan at the Big House.

Nebraska running backs coach Ryan Held says the Huskers better be ready for the fight.

“At the end of the day this is Rocky IV,” Held said following Wednesday's practice. “I mean nobody thinks we can win this game. National people don’t think we can win this game so we got to be able to rally, come together as a group, go on the road, get on that airplane like Rocky Balboa did and freakin’ beat Ivan Drago.
