Nebraska battled hard in the first half, but that could not stop Michigan from building a 13-0 lead heading into halftime.
The opening half featured some close plays and questionable calls going both ways from the officiating crew. The action was also slowed down by a number of reviews with the Wolverines scoring a touchdown just ahead of the break.
With the ball to start the half, Adrian Martinez and the offense went to work quickly and put points up on the board. Martinez completed a pass to Rahmir Johnson for 10 yards and ripped off a scramble of 20 yards to get into Michigan territory.
That is when Martinez hooked up with Austin Allen off play-action for a 46-yard score. The touchdown makes it 13-7 early in the third quarter:
